In spring, you can enjoy the fresh greenery and sparkling lake surface, as well as the Ooyamazakura cherry blossoms on the lake known as "Sakurajima," and in autumn, you can enjoy picturesque autumn foliage and other scenery that can only be seen from a cruise.
Onboard, we will share various attractions of Urabandai through announcements. Enjoy the Urabandai as you cruise along.
