The ambience was amazing and so much fun. I thought I'd feel claustrophobic on a small boat with so many people, but it ended up making it so much more fun! You really feel apart of the experience, even though mostly everything was in Japanese and I could only understand the odd Japanese word. The oarsmen were very nice and would try their best to say English words for us. It made us feel included. It is warned that you could get wet but the only time I got sprayed with water was when the oarsmen were purposefully spraying us! Hah. November 15, 2022
