こんな素晴らしい遊覧船があるなんて。。。
本当に感動したので是非ご覧ください！
テレビドラマ『ちょこっと京都に住んでみた』で主人公佳奈と友人が乗っていたのを見て、乗ってみたい衝動に。。。今月が誕生日なのでお祝いも兼ねて予約してみました。
この日は中秋の名月ということもあって素晴らしい夜のクルージング風景です。20時20分なんば湊町をゆっくりゆっくりと出航。道頓堀川からグリコの看板の辺りは大阪の賑やかな街中を抜けていきます。
堺筋・日本橋（にっぽんばし）をくぐり街の裏側を進んでいきます。道頓堀川から阪神高速高架下の東横堀川へ曲がるとそこは異世界。橋脚が神殿の列柱のようでリフレクション（写り込み）も幻想的。東船場JCT辺りを見上げると高速道路が幾重にも重なった絶景が広がります。土佐堀川手前の東横堀川水門では水位の違う川を通過するために水位調整を行う必要があります。ここでは普段目にすることができない水位調整の様子を見ることができます。
土佐堀川に入ると景色が一変し視界がいっきに広がります。中之島、高層ビル群、ライトアップされた美しい橋が現れます。中之島のシンボル的存在、名建築『大阪市中央公会堂』の美しさは一際目を引きます。
淀屋橋手前で折り返すと中秋の名月を愛でながら進むことになります。この日は水面が穏やかで難波橋（なにわばし）/ 通称：ライオン橋、天神橋のライトアップ、ビル群などのリフレクションがとても美しかったです。
中之島から先が大川で川崎橋（この橋もライトアップされて綺麗でした）の手前から大阪城と中秋の名月が見えます。寝屋川に入り京阪本線の下をくぐり、今度はOBP（大阪ビジネスパーク）手前から大阪城を見ます。
そして、終点の八軒家浜船着場へ。
今も、動画を見返して改めて感動が蘇ってきました。この景色をたくさんの人に見ていただきたいし、ぜひ実際に『御舟かもめ』さんの舟に乗って自分の目でご覧になってください。
御舟かもめさんのコンセプトは「川に浮かぶ小さなおうち」
コンセプト通り、ゆったりゆっくり川から大阪の絶景を眺めて過ごすことができます。
既に人気の『御舟かもめ』さんのツアーですが、今後も人気は高まりそう。。。予約取るのが難しくなるのも困るなあ。。。
また近いうちに別のコースを回ってみたい！それと桜の季節にも！
I never thought there was such a wonderful cruise ship.
I was really impressed with it, so please check it out.
I was so excited when I saw Kana, the main character, and her friend on the TV drama “Chokotto Kyoto ni Sundemita” (I tried to live in Kyoto for a little while). I made a reservation to celebrate my birthday this month.
The cruising scenery was wonderful as it was the mid-autumn moon on the day of the cruise. From the Dotonbori River to the area around the Glico sign, we passed through the bustling streets of Osaka. On the way, there is the loud voices of drunk people.
Passing through Sakaisuji and Nipponbashi, we continue on the back side of the city. Turning from the Dotonbori River to the Higashi-Yokobori River under the overpass of the Hanshin Expressway, you are in a different world. The piers look like the columns of a temple and the reflections are fantastic. Looking up at the Higashi-Senba JCT area, you can see a magnificent view of the highway in layers. At the Higashi Yokobori River sluice gate in front of the Tosabori River, it is necessary to adjust the water level in order to pass through a river with a different water level. Here, visitors can see the water level adjustment process, which is not usually visible.
Once you enter the Tosabori River, the scenery changes dramatically and your field of vision opens up. Nakanoshima Island, skyscrapers, and a beautiful bridge lit up with lights appear. The beauty of the famous Osaka City Central Public Hall, the symbol of Nakanoshima, is striking.
Turning back before Yodoyabashi Bridge, you will be able to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Moon while walking along the path. On this day, the surface of the water was calm and the reflections of Naniwabashi Bridge (a.k.a. Lion Bridge), Tenjinbashi Bridge, and buildings were very beautiful.
From Nakanoshima to the end of the Okawa River, Osaka Castle and the mid-autumn moon can be seen in front of Kawasaki Bridge (this bridge was also beautifully lit up). After entering the Neyagawa River, we passed under the Keihan Line, and this time we could see Osaka Castle from in front of OBP (Osaka Business Park).
Then, we will go to the last stop, Hachikenyahama boat pier.
Even now, looking back at the video, I was moved once again. I want many people to see this view, and I urge you to actually get on a “OFUNE CAMOME” boat and see it for yourself.
The concept of the OFUNE CAMOME is “a small house floating on the river.
As the concept suggests, you can spend a relaxing time viewing the spectacular view of Osaka from the river.
The popularity of the “OFUNE CAMOME” tour is already high, and it is likely to continue to grow in the future. I hope they will offer another tour in the near future.
I’d like to go on another tour soon! And also during the cherry blossom season!
