The history of Yakatabune (houseboats) dates back to the Heian period (794–1185) and the Edo period (1603–1868). Initially, these ornate vessels were exclusively for feudal lords and samurai. Over time, they gradually became symbols of wealth and social gatherings for wealthy merchants. It wasn't until the late 19th century that Yakatabune were officially opened to the public, allowing more people to enjoy this unique cultural experience. **Shamisen Performance: Immerse Yourself in a Cultural Delight** During the cruise, you will enjoy a captivating Shamisen performance.
