Unforgettable dining/cultural experience (highly recommended)!

Amazing experience-both from a culinary and cultural perspective! Each course was outstanding and our chef was very attentive to food allergies/preferences. The boat was lovely and the entire experience was stress-free and relaxing. Would highly recommend!

A uniquely beautiful experience

It's a very intimate experience on a beautiful boat off the coast. You'll be treated to a great dinner, drinks, and warm hospitality. The chef and the boat captain were fantastic hosts. If you'd like a unique experience, then give this a try!

great and cozy experience

great food and cozy atmosphere. Top service and a very wholesome experience. It was rainy, but nevertheless great. I imagine it being even better when the sky is clear.

Hidden Gem!!!

The hospitality was amazing from the moment we met at the meeting point. The food and ambience were superb!! The boat ride was beautiful and very smooth! We were the only 2 people on the boat so it was basically a private tour! Staff was very kind and would explain where we were and what we were seeing. This is a MUST DO if you are in the area!! It’s a hidden gem!

Best view of Itsukushima with intimate dinner setting

We've had a great time. The boat had only 4 tables, so it felt like a special personal experience. We've had a good view of the Torii gate for the whole dinner, right from our table. There's a spacious deck on the boat. On the way we've stopped by an oyster farm, which was interesting. The food was great. Multiple courses. All high quality. The organizers asked for our dietary requirements and adjusted the menu accordingly.

Smooth boat ride with local fresh food specialties!

A must do if you love a smooth boating floating restaurant with views of the harbor, oyster farms, special shrines, birds and being served local food specialties. Our wonderful host spoke English and also prepared our dinner. There is local sake, beer, and shochu for purchase. A concentrated amount of beautiful views from the boat.

Lovely dinner and cruise

Food was amazing frm start to end, and they will make sure we are super well fed! We went in the dead of winter and were well taken care of, with heaters and blankets. Ambience during evening was nice and i imagine it would have been even better to sit outside with a glass of beer during summer/spring. Would love to be back and to book the whole space for ourselves!

Romantic cruise with great food

This was a spectacular experiance. The boat was a cute and romantic small pontoon style dinning boat. The small scale made it perfect for an intimate dinner for two. We did the dinner cruise which allowed us to see the sun set. The water was very calm, the sky was clear with brilliant stars everywhere. The cruise was smooth and the food was delicious. We had course after course of perfectly prepared food. There is something for everyone, from soup to seafood to meet. All were scrumptious. Dessert appeared to be a something you would see at a Michelin star resturant. The presintation was buetiful and the taste matched the buety. We were able to see a shrine that is only visible from the sea and witness the numerous oyster beds the region is famous for. This is a must book.
