Revive the Yodo River Boat Transport!
The "Revive! Yodo River Boat Transport" operates for a limited time every spring and autumn. You can also experience the water level adjustment at the Kema Locks up close. How about taking a boat trip that will make you think back to the boat transport that connected Osaka and Kyoto during the Edo period?
Enjoy a leisurely 150-minute cruise aboard the Ebisu, a pleasure boat resembling a houseboat, while listening to stories about the Yodo River. The tour includes admission to Hirakatashuku Kagiya Museum, so you can learn more about the history of Hirakatashuku at the museum. Perfect for friends, family, or even solo travelers. Enjoy a leisurely, relaxing boat trip filled with the feeling of the seasons. Recommended for those who want to experience sightseeing in Osaka in a different way!
