Take a short trip to Nakanoshima at the end of the day with the "Detour Sunset Cruise," operating for a limited time!

Osaka Water Bus Co., Ltd., which has been operating sightseeing boats in Osaka City since 1983, will be operating the "Yorimichi Sunset Cruise," which allows passengers to enjoy the sunset and night view around Nakanoshima, on Fridays and Saturdays from September 4th to October 31st.

This cruise packs a 25-minute tour of Osaka's most iconic landmarks and historical sites, including the three major bridges of Naniwa (Tenmabashi, Tenjinbashi, and Nambabashi), the Osaka City Central Public Hall, Nakanoshima Park steeped in history and culture, and the vibrant Kitahama Terrace. You can also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the waterfront, such as the gradually lit-up city skyline and the "magic hour" when the sky changes from crimson to deep purple.

The departure and arrival point is the Hachikenya-hama pier, just a short walk from Tenmabashi Station on the Keihan Railway and Osaka Metro Tanimachi Line. As soon as you leave the station, you'll be guided on an extraordinary boat trip.
On your way home from an outing, or as a reward after a long day's work, enjoy a special time on a cool boat at dusk.
