[Cruising departing from Yokohama] Introducing 3 recommended tour plans, from cruise ships where you can enjoy the night view and meals to overnight cruise trips!

Cruises have become popular recently, with trips around the world and cruising to see night views becoming popular. The crucial difference between a cruise and a trip by plane or bus is that you can spend your time comfortably on the cruise ship. You can feel as if you are anchored at a villa on the sea, and you can enjoy an elegant time in a room with a view of the sea!! In this way, a cruise trip is not just a "way to get to your destination", but also a "comfortable boat trip". On planes and buses, you have to carry a heavy bag and be careful of theft. However, on a cruise trip, there is no such hassle! You can go sightseeing in the port towns you stop at along the way empty-handed. Since it is not impossible to travel empty-handed, cruising is the best way to go around the world.

Hello to everyone reading the Activity Japan BLOG. 2019 has come so quickly that it's already March and the warm spring is just around the corner. I don't like the cold, so I look forward to the arrival of spring every year, no matter how much pollen there is in this year! This year is a turning point from the Heisei era to a new era, and with the new Emperor's accession to the throne, May 1st will be a national holiday, so the main event of spring, Golden Week, will be a 10-day holiday! I would like to take advantage of this historic long holiday to go on a trip to a southern island like Okinawa or Hawaii, but due to work commitments, it seems that this dream will not come true... So, in this blog, I would like to introduce to you the "Tokyo Sightseeing Cruise Tour Plan" that I, a Tokyo resident, was searching for nearby leisure activities and found interesting, even though I had no connection to it myself.

I want to spend a luxurious time on a romantic two-day, one-night Christmas cruise aboard the Asuka II.

Hello everyone who is watching Activity Japan. I drew a bad fortune at Sensoji Temple. This is Shishimaru. It's not often that something like this happens, right? It's a lucky feeling, isn't it? Will I be able to spend this Christmas with a wonderful person? Will I be able to window shop in the gorgeous city of Tokyo, where illuminations shine, and enjoy a stylish dinner at a restaurant with a beautiful night view? I thought that such wonderful things might happen, so I should plan my Christmas carefully. I think the best thing to do would be to watch a movie at United Cinema Toshimaen, then skate at Toshimaen, and drink a lot at a yakitori restaurant, but I've looked into a more romantic plan, so I'd like to introduce it to you.

[Odaiba Christmas Cruise] Our family is planning to blend in with the couples on their date and enjoy a romantic cruise on a popular ship, which is sure to be fully booked!

The plan I'm thinking of booking instead of the Meguro River illumination cruise is this Christmas cruise plan! Like the Meguro River plan, this is a shared-ride style Christmas cruise plan run by Anniversary Cruise, a major company that runs charter cruises in Tokyo and Yokohama, with two trips per day from December 22nd (Saturday) to the 24th (Monday, holiday), Christmas Eve. It's right in the middle of the Christmas season during the December holidays, when couples are usually going out on dates, so there are only six trips in total, so it's hard to say whether you'll be able to get a reservation, but... it's definitely popular, isn't it?

"Meguro River Illumination 2018" I'm interested in the cruise plan to see the illuminations from a boat. How much does it cost? When will it be held?

Well, what caught my eye this time was this Meguro River Cruising Plan! It seems to be a plan that allows you to enjoy a luxurious time on a chartered boat while viewing the illuminations of Meguro River, which has become a seasonal feature of winter in Tokyo. My son is a typical man who gets super excited when he rides on a "vehicle," so this small boat, instead of a large ship, is just perfect for him. Well, if it was just for that reason, there are probably more simple plans, but since it's the season of illuminations when the city is colored, I'm planning to book a slightly romantic cruise plan that can also be used as a date with my wife (although to be honest, it's not the best time to do that with a child lol).
