This is a plan that allows you to watch from the "Hyotanjima Cruise (Electric boat HARMO *1)" sailing on the river that flows through the city dyed in Awa Odori colors. You can enjoy the dynamism of the dancers and the rhythm of the musical accompaniment along with the breeze crossing the river surface from a quietly moving electric boat. Drinks are provided, and you can also bring your own food and drinks such as street stall gourmet.
While it is so popular that there is usually a line during the Awa Odori period, applying through the hometown tax program has the appeal of being able to board without waiting in the general line, in addition to boarding from the Shinmachibashi Riverside Pier, which is scheduled to debut this summer.
*1 An electric boat equipped with the next-generation electric propulsion system "HARMO" developed by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., which is extremely quiet and features a gliding motion on the water. Because it sails at low speeds, passengers can enjoy meals and conversations while taking in the city scenery.
* Return gift pages will be published sequentially before the application period starts.
