Sightseeing Hobikibune 2026 Schedule (Sunset Cruise)

About this event

This is a special sailing operation where you can observe Kasumigaura's classic seasonal tradition, the Hobikibune (sail-powered fishing boats), up close against a magical twilight backdrop. The view of white sails standing out against the blue sky and glowing in the evening sunset is truly spectacular. Boarding an accompanying escort boat allows you to take in the heroic sight of the Hobikibune gliding across the water's surface. Take this opportunity to enjoy a special time and beautiful scenery. Advance reservations are required for boarding. Operations may be canceled depending on weather and wind conditions on the day. In addition, the number of departing vessels may change depending on the condition of the Hobikibune or boat operator circumstances.
