About this event

At 5:40 am on New Year's Day, the boat leaves Hinode Pier and you wait on Tokyo Bay for the first light of 2027. This is Symphony's annual First Sunrise Cruise: a live koto performance greets you as you board, and a New Year set meal with ozoni soup is served as the ship sets off. At 6:40 guests move to the open deck to watch the sunrise over the bay from about 6:50. Afterward a chindon-ya street band parades through the ship, and lucky coins (ofukusen) are handed out as you disembark. In about two and a half hours you get both a New Year breakfast and the first sunrise.
