Sunset Cruise

Story

Located at the mouth of the Yoshinogawa River Tokushima has roughly 138 rivers running through the city. With its warm climate, rich nature, and river access Tokushima City has long prospered as an economic center in the prefecture and this maritime tradition continues to this day.

While enjoying the scenery full bar service is available as well as a traditional style meal served in homemade wooden bentō boxes unique to Tokushima that showcase just how good local cuisine can be.
