Matsue Horikawa Sightseeing Boat
Take in the graceful townscape and nature from the sightseeing boat.
This tour boat with a roof floats on the 3.7km-long moat around the national treasure, Matsue Castle. The boatman gives a guide with humorous stories, while you relax and watch scenery.
The tour takes about 50 minutes - around a historical area preserved since Edo Period with samurai residences and grand stone walls, the lively city area with retro and modern buildings, and the nature area with peaceful, dense forest and waterfowl. You go under 17 bridges and some can be quite thrilling!
There are three boarding locations, Fureai Hiroba, Karakoro Hiroba and Otemae Hiroba and you can board and get off at any of them. You can ride all day with a ticket, which can be used as a convenient transportation to different tourist spots.
Each season, the boats come with different arrangements - wind chimes in summer, charcoal foot warmer tables in winter. During Water Lantern Festival (Matsue Suitoro) in October, the boats are run at night.
