"Boat trip commuting" boat that children can enjoy
In October this year (2023), "Boat Trip Commuting" started with a backup of Tokyo Metropolitan Government. It's a 500 yen cruise for 20 minutes one way from the dock under Nihonbashi to Toyosu.
When you go down the Nihonbashi River and enter the Sumida River, you will see the Eitai Bridge, an important cultural property of the country. River City 21 condominiums that can be seen over the bridge is spectacular.
The subway is faster, but the 20-minute walk away while feeling the flow of the river and enjoying the view of Tokyo Bay is a small trip rather than traveling. You can bring beer and knobs on a large ship named Urban Lunch (bicycles and wheelchairs are also OK).
At present, it seems that it operates with 11 ships, but this time it was a small boat called a limousine boat with a capacity of 11 people, so there was no beer. At this time, the operation time of "boat trip commuting" is near high tide, so it seems that the bridge will hit at Urban Lunch. In particular, please note that Minato Bridge is at the last minute.
After passing the sailing ship in Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, Meiji Maru, and once Koba's storage yard and passing through the jumping bridge, you will find Toyosu Pier.
In front of you is LaLaport, a large shopping mall with 62,000 m2. KidZania is famous, isn't it? For example, I leave Nihonbashi at 4:25, enjoy a few hours in Toyosu and come back by ship again. There is no doubt that the children will be overjoyed.
The service days as of November 2023 are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Toyosu at 4:00 pm, and Nihonbashi at 4:25 pm. After that, about 1 flight per hour. There is also a temporary suspension depending on the weather. Please check and make a reservation online (if there is space, you can purchase it at the boat landing).
