About this experience
Board a yakatabune and experience a different kind of traditional Japanese houseboat journey. This type of boat has a long history, dating back to the Heian period (794-1185).
Originally, yakatabune were exclusively for aristocrats' water recreation, and by the Edo period (1603-1868), they gradually became popular among merchants and commoners. The interior of a yakatabune is dimly lit, furnished with low tables, and still retains many traditional Japanese design elements.
