This is the second series of a series that rediscovers the charm of Chuo-ku while comparing along the edge of the friendship river between the Sumida River and the Seine. (For the "Prologue", see the section "Introduction") "Sumida River and the Seine" ≪Introduction≫
This time, we will focus on the ship.
It is a ship that supports people's exchange and logistics along Aya along the flow of the river. It is also a stage used by many people as a highlight of sightseeing.
In Paris, sightseeing boats are constantly sailing to the Seine River, bringing cheers from tourists all over the world. Everyone is drunk by the tasteful buildings and the scenery of the historic bridge seen from the boat. The river wind seems to be playing the rhythm of the trip comfortably.
There are also many cruises on the Sumida River. There are many courses that connect the neighboring Taito Ward and Koto-ku, but above all, the scenery of the river in Chuo-ku is diverse and you will not get tired. You can enjoy the scenery of the towns that change the appearance and atmosphere of unique bridges that appear one after another.
The Tokyo Waterside Line, operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association, has two docks in the ward, [Hamarikyu] and [Akashicho / St Luke's Garden]. Why don't you get on a boat sometimes and enjoy the scenery of the Sumida River in an angle different from your everyday life?
From this month, we have set up a course called "Nihonbashi River and Kanda River Tour" for the cruise. You can get on from the temporary Nihonbashi departure and arrival station and enjoy the atmosphere of the Nihonbashi River, so please refer to it. Tokyo Waterside Line "Nihonbashi River and Kanda River Tour"
In both Paris and Tokyo, people gather at the waterside, and conversation stimulates and expands memories. Both the Sumida River and the Seine have a unique charm.
Please enjoy a relaxing time on the boat as a place for gatherings where urban culture is fragrant.
