Tokyo provides fantastic river trip for tourists

Tokyo had over hundred rivers and canals used to move and reach the capital, but because of the development of train and highway transport network, the use of boats and ferries has declined.

Recently these ferries around Tokyo are becoming popular again and getting attention as tourist attraction.

It is fun to take the ferry ride in Tokyo in any seasons.

But many people love to take ferries in the spring, to enjoy the views of cherry blossom along Sumida River and in summer Tokyo's famous firework can be seen as well.

There are varieties of boats that are used to ferry patrons along the Sumida River, ranging from futuristic style to older style, one of the boats is replica of famous samurai warship.

It belonged to one of Tokyo's rulers hundreds of years ago.
