salon de the Tea shot
Wrapped in the soft light and woody fragrance of a traditional house, you can enjoy a leisurely and elegant tea time with antique furniture and tableware that have aged beautifully. It is a space where you can feel a small luxury that gently nestles into everyday life and a sense of excitement within the charm of old Japan.
Queen Bee M7
The Queen Bee M7 (next-generation EV passenger ship) runs smoothly on the river surface with no vibration and is very quiet. Since it emits no exhaust gas, there are no unpleasant exhaust or fuel odors specific to vessels, making it a comfortable boat for everyone to enjoy a cruise. The interior features a refined design with relaxation and openness. The front part of the hull has a large salon, the rear has an open deck, and an observation deck is also equipped on the upper part, making it suitable for various needs such as anniversaries and parties. This cruise allows you to enjoy afternoon tea and onboard performances while taking in the city views and the nature along the Okawa River.
