Sumida Park Boarding Area

In late March, during cherry blossom season, enjoy a special spring banquet aboard a Yakata-bune as it leisurely cruises along the Sumida River. Admire the blooming cherry trees along the riverbanks from the water, and relax aboard a traditional Japanese houseboat, soaking in the atmosphere of Edo-era charm.
Sumida River Yakata-bune

The Sumida River is one of Tokyo’s most famous cherry blossom viewing spots. Aboard a Yakata-bune (traditional Japanese houseboat), you can enjoy a front-row view of the blossoms without the crowds, feeling the river breeze and seeing the flowers reflected on the water. Inside, the boat offers a calm, Japanese-style space with minimal rocking, allowing you to relax and enjoy conversation at leisure. As the cherry blossom scenery changes moment by moment, you’ll experience a luxurious springtime moment unique to this season.
Edo-Style Cuisine

At the highly regarded Yakata-bune Tsurisho, guests can enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine aboard the boat. Freshly fried crispy tempura, beautifully arranged sashimi featuring seasonal fish, and other traditional dishes are prepared to be enjoyed right on board. In addition, soft drinks, sake, and beer are available with all-you-can-drink service. Savoring your meal and drinks while gazing at the cherry blossoms creates a truly rewarding springtime experience.
