【Chiba Port Tour Sightseeing Boat / Factory Night View Roux】 With the theme of "a sightseeing boat that is fun to ride and can see and learn", it is a Roux where you can feel Chiba Port up close while enjoying the powerful scenery of container terminals and factories. There are various popular plans such as "Chiba Port Tour Driving Course", "Makuhari Messe Offshore Sightseeing Driving Course", and "Ryobune Plan", but we especially recommend "Factory Night View Roux"! The waterfront area of Chiba City, one of Japan's 12 largest factory night views, is lined with factories and food complexes along Chiba Port, and their countless lights shine at night, creating a fantastic factory night view. Flights are limited to the 2nd and 4th Saturdays. You can enjoy the amber factory night view seen from the sea side, which you can't usually see!
