DSC03918RS'G.jpg On March 20, a "Sumida River Tour" was held to tour the waters around Tokyo from a houseboat, and tour the state of Tokyo's development and the traditional cityscape in a two-hour journey with the explanation of the guide.

The management window is the “Asashio Canal Waterside Purification and Revitalization Effective Utilization Association”, a collaboration project with the Chuo-ku Commerce and Tourism Division.

At 9:30, out of the 600 applicants, 100 winners were divided into 50 flights A and B flights, and boarded the houseboat Senba Maru from the Asashio Canal Ship landing.

The course is Reimeibashi / Triton Bridge ~ Harutsukibashi ~ Asashiobashi ~ Asashiobashi ~ Asashio Ohashi ~ Aioi Bridge ~ Eitai Bridge ~ Eitai Bridge ~ Sumida River Ohashi ~ Kiyosubashi ~ Shinohashi ~ Metropolitan Expressway Route 6.7 ~ Ryogokubashi ~ JR Sobu Line ~ Kuramae Bridge ~ Umaya Bridge ~ Komagata Bridge ~ Azumabashi ~ Komagata Bridge ~

The guide on flight A is a storyteller, Ryutei Shibaraku.

While listening to the light explanation of the storytelling, enjoy the scenery of the historic downtown, where old and new intersect and transform every day, with a different view from the boat, under the beautiful spring sunshine.

You will be reminded of the difficult taste of waterside assets in Chuo-ku.
