We just had the best night! If you want a beautiful, one of a kind experience take this cruise!
We booked a night cruise departing at 8:10pm. The trip is 80 minutes and cost us about 80 bucks CAD. Way better that the 20 bucks for 20 mins that the other tour guides are offering.
Pros - only a small amount of people on the boat. On our night, we were the only ones. Yay private boat tour. Pros - You see the river, the Channel, the lock dock, and other cool sights as well as the usually must sees of Dotonbori. Pros - The price. Our trip felt like great value for money. Bonus - you can bring your own drinks on board.
Cons - The departure pier was a little out of the way but Osaka’s amazing subway made the trip there easy and fast Cons - There is one section of the channel that runs under the highway that people might not enjoy but I thought it was really cool to see a normal, not touristy neighborhood.
Overall - This was the highlight of our time in Osaka! Please, please, please book with this company, you...

The owner of the ship speaks English too! He also offered...
