Yakatabune (屋形船 - Houseboat)

I'd like to take a 屋形船 (yakatabune) someday.

屋形船 means a Japanese style boat that is equipped with a roof and tatami mats, and it is mainly used for enjoying meals and sightseeing while cruising.

Here the 屋形 (yakata) means a mansion of nobles and the 船 (fune/bune) means a boat/ship.

Formerly, 屋形船 was used by nobles for enjoying cherry blossom viewing, moon viewing, and fireworks.

These days everyone can enjoy 屋形船, but the cost to reserve it is expensive, so it's not easy to take it.

If you have time, check for "yakatabune" or "屋形船" on Google Images.

屋形船

私はいつか、「屋形船」に乗ってみたいと思っています。

屋形船は屋根と座敷が備えられた和船のことであり、主に船上で食事や宴会、観光を楽しむ目的で利用されます。

「屋形」は "mansion," 「船」は "ship" を意味します。

かつて屋形船は、花見や月見、花火などを楽しむために、貴族に愛用されていました。

現在は誰でも楽しむことができますが、少し値も張るので、気軽に乗ることはできません。
