Has anyone actually taken a cruise on this unlikely looking ship? Guntű official website It looks to be a floating ryokan, cruising around the inland sea. A search of this site has only yielded one poster is curious about it, no one who's actually been on a cruise.
I'm about to book a cruise a year from now around the art islands. Figure it will be a way for the wife to see the art and me to get my boating fix in. Plus, foliage should be around peak and the temperature still mild.
Anyone have any thoughts or advice?

Wow, looks interesting. I don't think it's unusual for an official website not to have any reviews, but a quick search on Youtube yields quite a few. I searched in Japanese - here's one example of a pretty comprehensive, 40-minute video:

Yes, auto translate (I know 20 words of Japanese). That's why it was hard to watch, but I was able to understand him. Like everything, prices have gone up. The trip we are going to sign up for is 1,800,000 Yen for 2 people, 3 nights, 4 days all inclusive including alcohol. Not sure how that compares to private tours, but given the crew to guest ratio and the cost of operating and maintaining the boat, I doubt they are getting rich.
