Asakusa on the watersakusa desde el agua
Asakusa is a waterfront town . It sits on the mighty Sumida River, and many landmark buildings line the banks.
Head to the striking red Azuma-bashi Bridge for views of towering TOKYO SKYTREE, or enjoy a beer at the Super Dry Hall inside the Asahi Group Headquarter Building, with its Philippe Starck-designed golden sculpture adorning the roof.
For a taste of the city from the water, board the uniquely sculpted Hotaluna waterbus—from the creative mind of Japanese cartoonist Leiji Matsumoto—for a cruise up the river.
The pier is located close to Asakusa Station, and it is possible to take trips to Hinode Pier, Odaiba Marine Park, and Toyosu. |
