After we left the garden, our next stop was the wharf where we boarded a boat for a 30-minute tour. When we got to the water we saw this cool craft.
Unfortunately, that wasn't our boat:-) We were on a much more plain one that you can kind of see behind this beautiful, ornate one. Nevertheless, we all got aboard and headed up the
Sumida River. Here is what it looked like when we left the wharf.
We went under 13 bridges as we cruised up the river. At the end of our cruise we saw this structure, the
Tokyo Skytree. It is the tallest structure in Japan.
Our boat turned around in the river and we exited in an area of the city called
Asakusa. This is an older part of the city that has some historical landmarks. When we got off the boat, we were greeted by this guy. Do you know what he is?
If you guessed samurai, you would be correct! Here is Pam with the samurai!
