How to book Fushimi Jikkokubune boat ride

Hi All,

The Fushimi Jikkokubune boat reservation website is like a joke. For 03 continuous days, I came at midnight (Japan time), the website crashed and 1-2 minutes later, all slots were full. :( Is there any other way that I can book in advance please? Is it possible to queue there in the very early morning of the day I want to take boat ride? In early Apr, cherry blossom season I mean.

Many thanks in advance.

I don't know about this boat ride, but it seems it is quite popular so you can't get the reservation, quite normal.

If you do google search, you can find some tours including this boat ride. One example is:

104.97 USD

I do not recommend or deny this tour. It seems to be rather expensive, but it might be worth for some person. Kkday is a Taiwan based tour company and I don't think it suspicious.

Hello everbody,
I need your help! I tried to book for April 10, 2025 through the official website, but got a payment error. The thing is my credit card was charged, but no confirmation email.
I have no idea if my reservation go through? If not, how do I get a refund or rebook?
I have no idea how can I contact them. I dont speak japanese also the inquiry form in the website is not working I have tried several times.
Can anybody help me? Or have any suggestions how this issue can be resolved?
Thank you all!
