Osaka Aqua Bus

Unclaimed

Definitely one of the best cruises in Osaka! The ticket office is cool and well laid out, you can sit inside and try their special icecream/yogurt while waiting for the ride. The staff are very nice and helpful. The boat itself is quite low which is actually quite good for the ride, you get a feeling of close to the water and the boat could go through many bridges. The environment on the boat is very pleasant, air-conditioned, clean and neat. You have your seat assigned when purchasing the ticket so no need to line up early. Music was played during the ride and quite relaxing music and not too loud. The ride was about 40 minutes but because it operated on a moderate speed so it actually covered quite a bit distance. You can see Osaka truly a water city because the ride gave you a chance to go under many bridges on the river and see the different structures they have depending year built, length and usages etc. You could also see Osaka people going about with their lives on the river banks, walking the dog, chatting with friends or having a meal at one of the restaurants on river banks. You could also get a glimpse of wild life if you are lucky. Really loved the experience and definitely a strong recommendation.

Very friendly tour guide and the trip last for almost an hour. Not many tourist on a weekday. A comfortable trip. Recommended.

It was nice and comfortable boat trip after visiting Osaka Castle. Gives you good and totally different views of surrounding areas. A lot of green gardens and beautiful bridges. Especially Lion bridge.
