The river in Chuo-ku is interesting! 2 [Travel on the water bus]

Hello, this is Minato kid.

Many ships come and go on our Sumida River every day. Near the mouth of the river from Eitai Bridge, which was once called Edo Minato. Nowadays, pleasure boats, houseboats, or work boats that enjoy a water trip instead of loading shipboards are coloring the river landscape.

Today, I would like to introduce a water bus to enjoy a trip to the Sumida River and the Gulf Coast.

Each ship has a flower name. There are 3 kinds of flowers. I'm looking forward to seeing you!
A one-hour trip from Asakusa to Odaiba while watching the historical streets of Edo and various expressions of the Sumida River. In addition to traveling around the downtown area, there are also courses that go around the bay.

It departs and arrives from the banks of Sojuro at the base of Nihonbashi. From the Nihonbashi River, go out to the Sumida River and pat the Kiyosu Bridge with the Sky Tree in the background. There are lots of attractive scenery! There are many courses you can choose from, such as the Edo tokyo 45 minutes course.

Tokyo Water Taxi

From a shuttle service of 500 yen per section, a tour that can be chartered on an hourly basis, and a designated destination can be used as a water taxi. There are more than 20 boarding points, including the Sumida River, the Onagi River, the former Nakagawa, and the Asashio Canal, which is convenient. It seems to be very useful for the Olympics.

 

It's also interesting to see the boat on the bridge or from the terrace. Furthermore, if you look up at the bridge from the ship and look at the streets connected to both banks, you will find unexpected discoveries.

Sumida River is a museum of bridges.

Expressive bridges that tell the history of the town. Bridges with unique designs. You may say that a water bus trip is a "bridge appreciation tour." Just by changing your perspective, you will surely be impressed by the whole new scenery!

Please refer to each website for details on the operation status, reservations and details. Everyone, please enjoy the trip on the water bus.
