Looking for a unique party setting? Give the summer night cruise at Yokohama a whirl!
Want to experience a more "party-like" activity this summer, without too much of the festival crowds and summer heat? Tired of the Tokyo Club scene? How about a night party cruise in Yokohama Bay?
For about two hours you get to experience riding a cruise ship around Yokohama Bay. On these parts of the internets I haven't spoken much of, if anything at all, so far about the second biggest city in Japan (Yokohama). Though it may pale in comparison with nearby Tokyo, there is a lot to see, do, and like about the city of Yokohama.
Especially from the bay. And especially at night!
If your daily life and/or job doesn't involve being near or on ocean waters (like me), then being out on the sea can a treat just by itself. But this experience brings you quite a bit more in addition to that.
The food, for one, is great and plentiful. An all you can eat feast of standard Japanese izakaya-type food, with a touch of Chinese flavor taking its hint from the nearby Yokohama Chinatown. Drinks are free flowing and served in a pretty wide variety. As for me, I am always very happy with draft Kirin Ichiban, and the occasional Oolong tea to keep myself more traditionally hydrated. And the hydration part comes in importantly for the other part of the cruise.
The party!
A live band plays and gets everyone up to dance with the sway of the music and the ocean currents. Great party atmosphere and lively fun for all who get up for the dance, all in a very unique setting on a ship on the Yokohama bay waters.
You won't find a more unique, eye-catching, and fun experience than being on a party ship in the bay!
Recommendations:
- Recommend reserving in advance on their website. The website seems to be in Japanese only, so you might either need a friend to help, or just show up early onsite (around 17:00 or so) on the afternoon to get your ticket(s).
- Though it's held at night, dress as if the event were held during the summer day. It can get pretty hot especially if you like to dance!
