About

Recreating the cargo boats that once carried sake and rice between Fushimi and Osaka, the 20-seat jikkokubune glide past sake breweries and willows to the Misu Lock Gate, where passengers can step off to see the lock and small museum before returning. The round trip takes about 50-55 minutes and pairs well with the Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum.
