Sakura viewing by boat to keep social distance
Sakura, cherry blossoms, will be blooming soon and no doubt you’re looking forward to viewing them.
Enjoy a private tour with your own food and drink!
This tour is to watch Sakura from a small boat. We limit our cruises to small, private groups, which enables us to fully enjoy Sakura viewing in a safe and fun environment.
We invite you to bring your own food and drinks on board. There are some gorgeous Bento lunch boxes and traditional Japanese sweets available around the jetty where we set sail from.
