This was the best way to... - This was the best way to kick off our time in Osaka. I really enjoyed seeing the city from the boat at night. I also really liked that we could go at anytime because we got to Osaka later than planned.

Cruise down Dotombori River at night is a must!! - We needed to swap ticket from Fri night to Sat night & that was accommodated very well. Cruise was great, short about 20-30 mins but saw all the sights along Dontonbori river. Host was good, blankets provided as was a bit chilly. Able to purchase a couple of drinks for the trip. Recommend this activity 🙌

Worth the ride. - It was lovely experience, definitely worth it. Only thing it was rushed and the lady was a bit rude to me even though I was showing her my ticket she just shunned me aside, luckily the other guy helped and told her it's fine he saw my ticket and then she allowed me on the boat.

Great experience - We had a brilliant time on the night cruise, I would recommend this…. As the city gets very crowded and it can get difficult to get to photos of all the lights! Yes I would do it again. Thank you 🥰

Fun short boat ride - This was a fun short river boat ride in Osaka for the family. This was an opportunity to look at Osaka in a different viewpoint and to take good pictures of the billboards and landmarks.

Not bad - Look it’s a 10 mins ride, plenty of opportunities to take photo. Host is amazing and funny. The boat has a cover on top which hinders from taking photo video whilst you’re sitting inside the boat. You can’t stand.if you’re stuck in the middle aisle you just have to wait for the host to tell you to come up when he stops to take photos. Should be cheaper for this sort of thing.

Okay - The cruise was ok but hard to find and it was too short. The staff on the boat were fun and helpful.

Probably best to just walk along the river bank. - The crew and staff put a lot of effort in to their job but at the end of the day it's just a 6 or 7 minutes ride up the river a 5 minute stop and back to the drop off point - just walk it.
