this was extremely good experience. I took my colleagues from other countries, but they loved this experience as this involves not just bay cruise, but full course dinner and all you can drink! we also loved how this dinner cruise involves many other local groups on board which make it really authentic experience. they made stops at 2 points where you can overlook Tokyo skytree and Rainbow bridge and there, you can go up on the roof and take picture. boat staff rent us traditional wear. just need to be aware that departing time of this boat is varied depending on the date and condition, supplier sent us update me on when the dinner cruise depart when they finalized so need to check email.

Special evening, romantic honeymoon dinner. Great food, abundant quantities, perfect beverage with a wide selection of drinks, to drink without limits. Waiters and boat personnel super efficient, fast and always attentive to all needs, from those foodstuffs reported only at the moment, to the help to take the photo with lots of their flash to improve the light. They brought me the fork as an alternative to the "uncomfortable" sticks and given the larger size slippers not present at first sight. Truly exceptional customer care, to envy the best restaurants. Well done! I recommend this experience to everyone. I bought it in Paris with get your guide and I was thrilled. I redid the encore in Tokyo and I'll do the trio in Dubai! Compliments

Pleasant evening

Dock a little difficult to find but once there, the welcome is warm (even if the boat is super air conditioned), the meal is hearty, typically local (we discover dishes), the view is pretty with stop at the level of skytree On the other hand the staff speak little English and only tell you the essential; the rest is said in Japanese C not so serious, the moment remains pleasant because everyone remains attentive
