The Norway-Japan Society: Yakatabune Dinner Cruise on the Tokyo Bay (屋形船)
Sunday, September 18, 2016
One of the most unique dinner experiences you can get while in Tokyo would without a doubt be a cruise on the Tokyo Bay with one of the traditional Yakatabune (屋形船) houseboats. (I have previously written a short post about a previous trip on the Yakatabune here where I've gone more into details about the background of this cruise.
Inside the house boat they had karaoke available, so on the way back we could entertain ourselves with some songs. The atmosphere was good, with a mix of Japanese and English songs.
After the cruise was done it was time for a group picture back at the port. It seemed that all the participants had had a joyful evening, and we're already looking forward to another fun NJS event.
All the photos in this post have been taken by my friend and colleague Akira-san who is . You can find more information about his works through his home page.
