Away from the Everyday on Land...

"Catching the Arctic char on my first boat trip and first lure fishing experience is something I'll remember forever," said Nomoto. "The sofa was so comfortable, and I've never seen such a luxurious boat! I'd love to come back with friends and my two-year-old daughter for a bit of indulgence," added Furusawa.
"The design, like having a room that's actually running on the water, is so innovative. The sun roof for shade was spacious, and the living area felt very roomy and comfortable," commented Tamon.

Mr. and Mrs. Nomoto, along with Tamon, a mother of one, are close friends who have known each other for years. They are well-known figures in the motorcycle industry. Here are their impressions of the time spent on the water, from three individuals whose work is based on motorcycles on land.

Tamon, who also reviews motorcycles, noted the boat's performance: "I barely felt the vibration while running, and the hull felt more stable when accelerating from low speed. Despite its flat design, it's very well-made." She pointed out the stable ride of the pontoon boat, essentially a flat-bottomed vessel with a deck placed on three aluminum logs. All three agreed on its comfortable, stable ride, spacious interior, and easy boarding for children due to the flat floor.

This pontoon boat, the first of its kind introduced to Lake Inawashiro as a Yamaha Marine Club "Sea-Style" vessel in late April, is currently exclusive to this location but is slated for introduction at Lake Hamana and Lake Biwa. By joining the "Sea-Style" membership club, users can rent various boats at approximately 140 home marinas nationwide, including the "Bandai Marine Inawashiro Marina," allowing for casual enjoyment of water activities.



These three were fortunate enough to be among the first to experience the pontoon boat. The estimated cost for a 3-hour course is ¥22,000 and up, plus fuel. If you opt for a captained experience with a staff member, the rate is ¥5,000 per hour.

Calculated for the three individuals on this trip, the 3-hour course comes to a reasonable ¥14,000 per person. If ten people were to use it, the cost would drop to an incredibly affordable ¥4,200 per person for a cruising experience.

Enjoying water activities on Lake Inawashiro, away from the everyday. Spending time with close friends who know how to have a good time, like these three, is a wonderful option. We highly recommend experiencing this ultimate entertainment.
