Revive! Yodo River Shipping

The "Revive! Yodo River Boat Transport" operates for a limited time every spring and autumn. You can also experience the water level adjustment at the Kema Lock up close. How about a boat trip that takes you back to the boat transport that connected Osaka and Kyoto during the Edo period?

Enjoy a 150-minute cruise on board the Ebisu, a pleasure boat in the style of a houseboat, while listening to stories about the Yodo River. The tour includes an admission ticket to the Hirakatajuku Kagiya Museum, so you can learn more about the history of Hirakatajuku at the museum. Come with friends, family, or even by yourself. You can enjoy a leisurely boat trip filled with the seasonal atmosphere. Recommended for those who want to try a different kind of sightseeing in Osaka!
