Premium Private Cruise on Yanagawa’s Special Boat

Begin your exclusive journey at Shogetsu boarding area, the historic birthplace of the Yanagawa boat tour. From here, you’ll board Yanagawa’s one-and-only specially designed canal boat, reserved entirely for your group, and embark on a peaceful one-way cruise to Okihata (Ohana), covering about 3 kilometers in 60 minutes. This premium boat offers extra comfort and refined details—perfect for a relaxing and elegant experience. With no engine noise, your boatman uses a single pole to guide you silently through willow-lined canals and past traditional white-walled storehouses. Along the way, you’ll hear local songs and stories that reveal the town’s deep cultural roots. If you prefer a shorter experience, a 40-minute round-trip course from Shogetsu is also available. Experience Yanagawa’s canals like no one else—on a one-of-a-kind boat, at your own pace.
