HIGHLIGHT

~The Evolution of Architecture as Seen from the Water~

Tokyo's premier large-scale architecture event, "Tokyo Architecture Festival 2025" — cruise along the Sumida River, Nihonbashi River, and Kanda River to explore the stone walls and buildings that have evolved from the Edo period through the Meiji era and into the present day, all as seen from the water. You will feel the flow of history of what can truly be called Japan's architectural treasures, carried along by the very current of the rivers themselves. A true time-leap cruise!!

The open-top, roofless vessel allows you to take in the breathtaking scenery with even greater impact. A course popular among train enthusiasts as well. We welcome guests of all ages — come and experience it for yourself ♪
