Take a cruise on an old-fashioned boat while gazing at Kintaikyo Bridge.

○ Spring Excursion Boat: “Sakura Boat”
Period: Mid-March～June 1
The season when cherry blossoms are in bloom is the time of year when Kintaikyo Bridge is at its most glorious.

○ Autumn Excursion Boats

“Momiji Boat”
The area surrounding Kintaikyo Bridge is a beauty spot for autumn foliage. In addition to Momijidani Park, Shiroyama is also tinged with vibrant colors.
Under a perfectly clear sky, you can gaze at the colorful surface of the river and Kintaikyo Bridge from a gently swaying house-boat. How about going on a water-top excursion like this?

“Local Sake Boat”

“Cafe Boat”
You can enjoy sweets made by a long-established local sweets-maker, on board a house-boat. Spend an extraordinary 45 minutes on this cruise, as the boat sways gently.
