Himiko, cool-looking but actually super boring
You too might have seen these cool-looking spaceship-like boats going along the river from Asakusa to Odaiba and wonder what it'd be like to be in one. Well, it was quite disappointing! The scenery along the way is surprisingly underwhelming and it's actually super slow, unlike the high-speed you might have imagined for such a high-tech-looking boat. I personally prefer the short ferry ride that takes you from Odaiba to Hinode 日の出, by the boarding point of the Edo boat, where you can then walk 15 minutes to JR's Hamamatsucho Station 浜松町駅 or the subway station Daimon 大門駅 that connects to Roppongi (Kill Bill restaurant) and Shinjuku (Godzilla). Look up the different cruises and ferry on Tokyo Cruise!
