Ipponmatsu Shipping operates sightseeing boats that allow you to fully enjoy Osaka, the aqua metropolis. There are a variety of routes, long and short, provided, take some time to compare the different routes and find your favorite!

The Naniwa Tanken sightseeing cruise tour is a 90-minute tour around Osaka, the aqua metropolis, with a rakugo (a form of Japanese verbal entertainment) performer guiding you throughout the journey. Look at these uniquely-Osaka tourist destinations such as the Glico Man in Dotonbori and the Osaka City Central Public Hall, while enjoying the rakugo performance on the water. The boat tour is filled with excitement as it cruises through water gates like those along the Panama Canal or extremely low-height bridges. The latest model of the state-of-the-art boat is fully equipped with air conditioning and heating, glass ceilings, and large windows. Reservations are prioritized.
