Classic cruise

Cruise through the historic landmarks of Osaka, the "Water Capital." The Okawa River, where the Aqua-Liner operates, flows through the heart of the city and offers a stunning blend of charming historic architecture and lush greenery.

The view from the water reveals a different side of Osaka—away from the bustling city image, you can enjoy a serene, nature-filled waterfront landscape right in the center of the metropolis.

Explore Osaka from the water’s surface on the Aqua-Liner.

As our most compact open-top vessel, the Aqua mini offers unmatched agility. Its small frame allows it to cruise through narrow canals, including the Higashiyokobori and the iconic Dotonbori. Available mainly for seasonal events and exclusive private charters.

"Enjoy a more open-air cruise experience on the Aqua mini."

A modern tribute to the Meiji-era steamships of the Yodo River. > Featuring its signature paddle wheels and an expansive observation deck, the Himawari invites you to enjoy a refreshing breeze and panoramic views. > As the "Queen of Osaka Ships," she provides a refined and luxurious escape from the everyday. > Available for exclusive seasonal events and private charter bookings.

"Experience a moment of pure elegance aboard the Himawari."
