What makes it 90% Couple-Friendly: Couples can enjoy sunset runs under Rainbow Bridge, mood-lit cabins, and optional dinner cruises that feel romantic, but seats face forward so private conversation space is still somewhat public.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: Enough time for a one-way sunset cruise to Odaiba and a leisurely walk on the pier before or after your ride.
Board the Hotaluna sunset cruise:
Depart Asakusa around 3:30 pm for a 60-minute ride to Odaiba Seaside Park.
Tip: Book seats on the starboard side for unobstructed Rainbow Bridge views at dusk.
Explore the Mirai sightseeing ship:
Climb aboard the teardrop-shaped vessel designed by Leiji Matsumoto.
Tip: Take photos through the glass roof and spot Galaxy Express 999 portraits in the cabin.
Stroll and photo session on the pier:
Walk the riverside promenade around Asakusa Pier before boarding.
Tip: Frame shots of the Asahi Flame building and Tokyo Skytree from riverside benches.

Went for the bridges tours, which were 45 minutes long. We did not purchase the tickets online, as when we went there weren't a big crowd. The captain was narrating/explaining the different bridges, but it was all in Japanese, so we weren't able to understand anything. Still a nice view of the different bridges. The buildings at the side of the rivers were alright, nothing too special. There are o...

It’s not open for 24 hours. The pier will be opened close to the first board time. The toilet located on the lowest floor facing outside, so it’s basically outside the building. You can buy the ticket online or walk in, but most of the tickets are sold online, anyway they will prioritize visitor with online ticket to enter the cruise first. If you’re with baby stroller, you need to fold the stroll...

I did this cruise on the 30th Nov 2024 at 3.30pm from Asakusa pier. Ticket bought from the cruise counter in the morning. The tour took almost an hour along Sumida river. Seeing the panoramic view of Tokyo city skylines was an amazing experience. The sunset rays make the tour even more captivating as we approach Odaiba. It's wise to dress appropriately because the winds on the open deck of the cru...

I took the water bus from Hinode Pier to Asakusa and back. On my trip from Hinode Pier there was hardly anyone on board and we were on an older boat which was wonderful as there was full open air viewing available. My return trip was busier but just as spectacular. There are some very futuristic looking boats running the route. I thoroughly recommend a trip on the river.
In spring, cherry blossoms line the Sumida River. In summer, catch fireworks displays from the deck. In winter, bundle up for crisp, clear views of Tokyo Bay.
