Hello! TOKYO WATER TAXI

[The Crown and the Rabbit] October 8, 2017 09:00

What is Tsukiji moving around the market?
Needless to say,
About 360 years ago
Already from the Edo period
Tsukiji is on the water front.
It was a pioneer in the foreground
What is now
For the good location
It has appeared as a location for many commercial dramas.
If you take a short walk, you must be sure
"Ah? The scenery I saw somewhere here..."and"
You should think of it.

 

Locals walk and jogging.
Hyugabokko, you can open lunch boxes for lunch, enjoy the night view with one hand of beer, and enjoy the night view.
Some people come to practice trumpet.

 

I live in a 3-minute walk away.
Considering it as an extended living dining room at home.
The visitor is more than a small room.
I wanted to share the comfort of the panoramic landscape of the buildings along the Sumida River and the waterside.
I often have a picnic on the bench at the base of Kachidokibashi.

 

Well, the other day I was enjoying the baguette and cheese on the bench
A yellow ship with a different taste from the usual houseboat was laid on the dock in front of me.

When a correspondent's blood fussed, I applied for an interview immediately.
I got OK for 10 minutes before the customer got on.

 

The ship
Toward the Olympic and Paralympic Games
It was a water taxi that started an attempt to operate it two years ago.


It began full-scale operation last year.
To Haneda Keihin Canal and Sumida River Main
"Taxi Plan"
“Regular Operation Plan”
"charter plan"
It seems that it's going on.

The boat is a small boat with eight passengers.
The captain and the boatman will accompany you.
It seems that it is suitable for chartered boarding with 6 people and for sightseeing and party use.

Actually, I was on board.
Small buns give you the excitement of going out on a jungle cruise near the sea surface.
Because it has a small turn, "I can go in quite a narrow river."
There is a toilet and air conditioning.

Viewed from rivers and canals, Tokyo will show a 180-degree different look than usual.

 

Now, the reservation customer got on board and the rope on the berth was broken.
When he waved his hand and saw him off, he rang the reciprocal whistle and departed with Buen.
