Travel › Explore Tokyo's waterways

 

TOKYO — Tokyo's waterways have some tours designed to show how our life is connected to the rivers. An NPO called Enjoy Eco School operates group tours, using specially designed exhaust-free electric boats to cause minimal impact to the environment. Different tours explore the Kanda-Nihonbashi, Onagi River and Tennozu areas on half- and full-day trips that offer glimpses of turtles, wild birds and other aquatic animals that inhabit the area. You can also learn about the boats that ply the rivers collecting garbage. Part of the cost goes toward supporting the organization's monthly riverside cleanup gatherings. English tour guides are available on request. For more info, visit www.enjoy-eco.or.jp/eco-tour-index.html.
