In years’ past, Tokai Kisen company offered a cheaper version of the Yakatabune experience, a two-hour Tokyo Bay Noryosen summer cruise on the cruiser Sarubia-maru.

Since last summer, Tokai Kisen has been keeping the cruiser docked at Takeshiba Pier, but you can still go onboard the cruiser for two hours of all-you-can-drink draft beer, highballs, cocktails and soft drinks while enjoying beautiful night view of Tokyo Bay for 2,200 yen. The cruiser also has food for purchase.

If you want to go with the summer theme, yukata (summer kimono) rentals are available. Cabin reservations for groups are open as well. Check the website for further information.

So, if you are looking for a summer boating experience with food and drink without leaving the pier, give this a try!
