Osaka, the Water Capital Introducing a new cruise!
Osaka Castle/Dotombori Tour

The new Osaka Castle/Dotombori Tour links Osakajo Pier in Osaka Castle Park and Minatomachi Pier at Minatomachi River Place via Tazaemonbashi Pier on the Tombori River Walk, the premier shopping district on Dotombori River. Our two new Water Capital/Aqua Mini ships depart hourly from Osakajo Pier and Minatomachi Pier. The 50-minute cruise (one-way) offers the opportunity to enjoy the unique scenery of Osaka, Japan’s Water Capital, including Okawa River near verdant Osaka Castle Park, the city’s ancient waterways, Higashiyokobori River and its massive floodgate, and Dotombori River with its typical Osaka landscape stretching out on either shore.
