Experience a unique perspective of Osaka Minami and Dotonbori from the river with an Osaka Guide Crew boat tour. The cruises run every 30 minutes from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and the city’s illuminated skyline reflected in the water creates a particularly romantic atmosphere at night. Tickets for this cruise are available only on the day of departure. Other special cruises include:
The Naniwa Exploration Cruise led by a rakugo storyteller, providing an entertaining and insightful look at Osaka’s history and waterways (90-minute tour).
The Tonbori River Jazz Boat, where passengers can enjoy live jazz music while taking in the scenic views of the Dotonbori River (40-minute tour).
A seasonal cherry blossom cruise, available during sakura season, which can be reserved up to three months in advance.
