Rib Pioneer

Pleasure boats on Lake Towada

Rib Pioneer is one of the boat rental companies on the south end of Lake Towada. It is one of the biggest ones and the only one in that area with swan boats. There is a little shop in the hut, where you pay for the boats. I found the swan boats to be quite expensive in comparison to other tourist areas, but in my opinion it was worth it. You can take the boat close to the beautiful Ebisu Daikoku island, which looks like a giant bonsai on the lake!
