It's easy to overlook that Tokyo is surrounded by water: Tokyo Bay is from the east, and rivers and canals flow through the metropolis in to mountain ranges. Through water sports to sightseeing and dinner cruises, let's get to know another part of the city by exploring its scenic waterways. Tokyo is, in reality, a water city. The southeastern portion of Tokyo faces Tokyo Bay, and the Sumida River has served as Tokyo's seaport since ancient times. This proximity to the ocean has always drawn people to it, and you can still see many ships sailing on the rivers and Tokyo Bay today. Water buses, or suijo buses in Japanese, are among such vehicles. In recent years, these one-of-a-kind boat taxis have grown in popularity, especially among tourists. These water buses do more than just transport you from one location to another; they also have breathtaking views of Tokyo and, in some cases, one-of-a-kind culinary experiences.
