Last update :

A standard sightseeing boat in the aquatic city of Osaka that takes you to Osaka Castle and Nakanoshima! A 40-minute cruise along the Okawa River, which runs through the center of Osaka. The area along the Okawa River is lush with greenery and lined with retro architecture, providing a tasteful view of the city.

As soon as you depart from Osakajo Pier, you will see Osaka Castle and the Osaka City Central Public Hall, which opened in 1918, and other historic buildings. Don't miss the tunnel that was used to bring weapons made at Osaka Castle onto ships!

The historic bridges such as Temmabashi, Yodoyabashi, and Tenjinbashi, which are also the names of places in Osaka, are another attraction. The ceiling of the Aqua-Liner is made of glass, so you can take a closer look at the backside of the bridges. In the boat, you can look up at the city from the same level as the water surface, which is a different feeling.

You can also enjoy the seasonal scenery of cherry blossoms, roses, and fresh greenery. Drinks and ice cream are also available for purchase on board.

    旅行社安排用完午餐後去搭船,時間上很不妥當,很多團員上了船不到10分鐘都在打瞌睡。

    大阪是有名的水城充斥很多橋樑河流,搭乘水上觀光船也是一種遊覽方式。

  • Veronica

    夏天有舒適空調的玻璃船,遇到橋樑高度還可以升降,蠻有趣的體驗。

  • Jen Jen Chen

    乘坐水上巴士可以輕輕鬆鬆地瀏覽大阪市區行程。

  • 孫佳玲

    當初是買大阪周遊卷可以免得搭乘,船艙乾淨延途有停靠點,可以選擇離地鐵站近一點的景點,走走逛逛,享受慢遊旅程。
