The railway lines extending in all directions in Tokyo include JR, Toei Subway and Tokyo Metro Lines. Tourists may walk around in Tokyo, not to mention various private railways, buses and monorails.I believe that many people have had the terrible experience of accidentally rushing into the turbulent commuting crowd at the subway station during the commuting time in Tokyo. At that time, they all wanted to become Ant-Man. This is also the main reason for the special arrangement of the Sumida River cruise to Tokyo. Enjoy the leisure time on the water in the city, this is quite a picture of conflicting beauty.

How to get there by car? Traffic information and surrounding environment of Hinode Pier Boarding Station
The Rinoide Bridge Ferry Yard is adjacent to the two stations of Rinoide Station and Hamamatsucho Station. The nearest is the Japanese Station on the Yurikamome Line (Yuriko Line). After exiting the station, walk about 250 meters along the railway.In addition, it is usually the Hamamatsucho Station on the JR route that is usually easier to take by car, but you have to walk about 800 meters to get there. It is not difficult to find along the way according to the signs and mobile phone navigation.
In the morning, we took the monorail to and fromOi Racecourse Flea MarketAfterwards, return to Hamamatsucho Station. At this time, you can transfer to JR to Shimbashi Station, then transfer to the Yurikamome again to Hinode Station, which is closest to the ferry terminal. However, considering the walking distance and time of transferring at the station, it may not be more labor-intensive and time-saving, so exit the station directly from Hamamatsucho Station and slowly walk directly to the Hinodesukabashi ferry terminal.

Experience on the Sumida River Line Cruise Route
There are many cruise routes at Hinode Sanbashi Pier, and the frequency is quite dense. There are two major sightseeing spots in Asakusa and Odaiba. We chose to take the Sumida River route to Asakusa. This densely-frequent route allows us to relax and enjoy desserts in the pier. With ice cream, there is plenty of time to admire the scenery of the pier. In front of the pier are Odaiba and Rainbow Bridge. The night view is also quite beautiful. It is a scenic spot suitable for taking photos day and night. It is very suitable for slow travel.
▲ Some popular routes will take a break, but the popular Asakusa and Odaiba routes are fine.
▲ The Sumida River route to and from Asakusa has a lot of flights, about half an hour, and we specially chose to postpone it 2 times to enjoy the desserts and scenery of the pier leisurely.
▲ Just use the automatic ticket vending machine to buy a ticket.
▲ The one-way ferry costs 780 yen per person. There is no designated schedule. You can take your time. If this ferry is too fast, you can take the next one.
▲ The interestingly shaped dining car next to the pier is very suitable for killing time. It is recommended not to rush on board.
▲ Gate B pier on the left facing the sea is the boarding location.
▲ The cabin equipment is quite simple, with a lot of seats. We didn't make more stops in the cabin. The voyage was only 40 minutes, and we were there just by enjoying the coastal scenery.
▲ The Rainbow Bridge is right in front. You can take a boat from Asakusa at night, which is another good itinerary.
▲ The water was clean and odorless. We leaned on the stern and enjoyed the scenery all the way. Time passed quickly.
▲ Along the voyage, you will pass large and small piers and tall buildings, and the scenery from the water will have a different flavor.
▲ The Sky Tree.
▲ When passing large and small bridge piers, you can test your general knowledge of Tokyo geography while using your mobile phone to locate it.
▲ The opposite bank of Skytree and Golden Horn is the boarding point of Asakusa!
▲ Ready to dock!In front is the famous Asakusa scenic spot, the itinerary is very smooth.
▲ Finally, passers-by were asked to help take a picture of Anya and Wendy. This road was intimately incorporated into the Skytree and Golden Bull Horn, and he was a little small. ^^
Comprehensive review: Tour the city scenery along the Sumida River
I remember that when I first went to Kyoto, I rushed back and forth between Tokyo Skytree and Asakusa Kaminarimon in the daytime. At night, I was ready to take a ride back to the hotel at Asakusa Station. There was a sense of peace of getting rid of the rush of the cruise on the Sumida River at that time. This time, I can finally come and visit leisurely from the water. I suggest that you can occasionally get rid of the MRT and try this comfortable way of traveling.
