At the Boat Festival, a boating procession was held by a small Japanese wooden boat "Wafune" in memory of the past.

Japanese boats used for sightseeing in Kawagoe, Tochigi, and Katori, which are said to be "Koedo 3 cities", are newly installed this spring at Nihonbashi Bridges with the aim of reviving the "Water Road" around Tokyo.
