Tokyo Mizube Line
Adapted from Wikipedia · Discoverer experience
The Tokyo Mizube Line is a special boat service that travels along the rivers in Tokyo. These boats, often called water buses, are run by a public company named Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association. They offer regular trips on set routes, as well as special cruises for events and private groups.
People can ride the Tokyo Mizube Line to enjoy beautiful views of the city from the water. It’s a fun way to see parts of Tokyo that you can’t reach by car or train. The service does not run on Mondays, or the next day if Monday is a holiday, and it also closes between December 29 and January 3 each year.
