ABOUT COMPANY

Shinnami Ryoyuu Japan Co.,Ltd

Established: August 2, 2013
Head Office: 9F, Frontier Bldg. B, 7-26-3 Eitai, Koto-ku, Tokyo 135-0034, Japan
About Us: Shinnami Ryoyuu Japan specializes in premium Yakatabune cruises on Tokyo Bay. Founded in 2013 and based in the heart of Tokyo, we offer unforgettable night experiences aboard two traditional houseboats — Shinnami No.1 and Shinnami No.2 — departing from Etchujima Pier.
We cater to international travelers, particularly from Western countries, seeking more than just sightseeing. Through geisha performances, live shamisen music, gourmet wagyu cuisine, and warm hospitality, our mission is to offer an authentic cultural adventure on the water. Seeing Tokyo is easy — but until you've cruised on a yakatabune, you haven't truly visited Japan. This is not just a boat — it's an immersive cultural adventure for all your senses. Give this one night to the real Japan.
