We very much enjoyed the cruise, but there was no explanation in English of what we were eating or why it was important to japanese cuisine. It's a touristy thing, so some explanation beyond "appetizer" would be very appreciated. Otherwise, the staff was great, and the experience was memorable.

This was an excellent activity! The food was great ( for example they cook the tempura in stages so that the waiters constantly run back and forth delivering each guest another fresh item) and of course all the beverages you need are included. The boat staff is super friendly, always smiling. The views of the bridges and buildings lit up are super.

Dinner was fantastic and the crew very friendly! The views were excellent and despite neither of us speaking Japanese besides the pleasantries, the crew went out of their way to ensure we understood when we could go on top of the boat for photos, how to order drinks, etc. There are also helpful labels on the table in English on what to use and when for dinner (soy sauce for sashimi, etc.) for people unfamiliar with Japanese dining. My only warning to other travelers who do not speak Japanese is that you’ll miss out on verbal explanations of the sights. There is a map, and it’s easy enough to figure out, but you’ll need to book a guide if you want the verbal explanation. I still 100% recommend this trip if you do not speak Japanese.
