Tokyo was once a city of water and everyday life was intertwined with its rich water network. Modern-day Tokyo still owes much to the intricate system of waterways created to serve the 17th century capital, Edo which is called Tokyo now. Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel is built just near the Tokyo waterfront in the area developed through industries deeply connected to support these waterways like shipbuilding. Tokyo waterways not only helped lives of locals by travelling goods the rivers and canals just as they now do on roads, many of the entertainment and fun activities were invented. One of the cultures remain poplar today among locals is Yakatabune, a houseboat that cruise through Tokyo waterways. It usually furnished with tatami mats and low tables that were used to host parties where guests could mingle and socialize over food and drinks in 17th century. Tokyo still honors this traditional fun and there are many Yakatabune cruises available even for tourists to experience the history and beautiful scenery of Tokyo.There is a Yakatabune dock in 1 min walk from Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel departs with our guests occasionally.
