Yakatabune Cherry Blossom Evening Cruise
The Norway-Japan Society (NJS) kindly invites members and friends of NCCJ to a Yakatabune Evening Cruise, on board a Yakatabune (traditional Japanese houseboat) on Wednesday, 27th March 2019. This is the first time NJS organizes this dinner boat cruise during the cherry blossom season, and you are strongly encouraged to participate in the event!
Unlike previous cruise events held in September, we will first pass under the illuminated Rainbow Bridge and head to Sumida River. We will then cruise along the river toward the direction Tokyo Sky Tree up to Sakura Bridge. The boat will anchor for an hour at the Sakura Bridge area, and enjoy an excellent combination of Tempura, Sashimi and other Japanese foods. During the time we’re stationed by the Sakura Bridge you can also go up to the deck to see the light-up cherry blossom and Tokyo Sky Tree nearby from the boat. On the way back there is karaoke available on board for those who like to sing. Feel free to bring your family and friends for this fun occasion!
According to the cherry blossom forecasts the flowers will start to bloom on the 22nd and peak on 30th March in this area, so we will be able to enjoy cherry blossom close to its peak from our boat.
