The cherry blossoms have passed, and the cold season has finally ended.
And he said...It is the opening of the Edo boating tour season, "Touring around the water city, Tokyo by boat"!
Edo is a water city and a prosperous town based on logistics by waterways. Currently, there are many major roads in Tokyo that were originally waterways. And in Chuo-ku, there are a number of active waterways, led by the Sumida River and Nihonbashi River. Let's go around there by boat! That's a boating tour. It's not just a boat play, but a journey through the Balibari arterial road where trade boats come and go until a little more than 100 years ago, the waterway that was the gateway. In addition to the remnants of Edo, there are many remains where the gorgeous Meiji Taisho era remains. You can see Are and Chore, which can not be seen from the ground, along with the guide's explanation.
Is there anyone who knows where it is here?...！？ (The hint is the site of a certain subway.)
Of course, I also go around the hot places now.
In Tsukiji Market...
Toyosu planned site!
There are various types of tours, so you can choose what place, how much time, and how deep you want to see according to your preference. Each tour has a professional guide, so it's very interesting.
You can also see landfills under construction in Tokyo Bay.
The boating tour is not held in winter, so the next few months will be the on-season. At that time, a wide variety of tours are held. For more information, please visit our website.

When you look at Tokyo in Heisei from a spacious waterway, you can see a completely different figure. I think you can also experience the people and things from Edo to the pre-war period, the flow of culture, and how to connect with neighboring areas such as Asakusa.
It is a very fulfilling event, so please come and visit Chuo-ku from the waterway in the coming warm season.
By the way...
This is for those who say, "I like bridges rather than rivers!"
"Bridge Pocket Map" edited by the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Construction. It is a wonderful book that covers major rivers and bridges in Tokyo.
It's like this when you open the inside.
Each one is pocket-sized, 5 books in total. The price of the box set that contains all is 800 yen. It is also sold at the Kachidokibashi Museum, located at the base of Kachidokibashi. I don't really recommend these maps.
