Water bus – Tokyo Mizube Cruise Line
The Tokyo Mizube Cruise Line, operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Parks Association, is a water bus that operates along the Sumida River and waterfront areas.
The course connecting Asakusa to Odaiba, a popular sightseeing spot, runs regularly every day. There are also irregular services such as night cruises to enjoy the night view of Odaiba, event services, lunch/ dinner cruise, and charter services.
The reason why we recommend this cruise is because the boat landing is located right in front of THE GATE HOTEL Ryogoku, so when you are staying at our hotel, you can easily jump in the water bus
The recommended course is the Asakusa-Odaiba Cruise
We recommend the Asakusa-Odaiba Cruise, which connects Asakusa and Odaiba, two of Tokyo’s most popular sightseeing areas.
The Asakusa area offers a great iconic view of the powerful Tokyo Sky Tree®.
From Asakusa, enjoy the scenery of the downtown area and pass under numerous bridges over the Sumida River.
When you reach Kachidoki Bridge, you will see high-rise condominiums in front of you, and the downtown atmosphere will suddenly change to a more modern one.
This Kachidoki Bridge is designated as a National Important Cultural Property.
You can listen to commentary on the history and origin of the places and bridges you pass by on the boat.
Passing directly under the Rainbow Bridge, the boat heads for Odaiba.
