What makes it 68% Baby-Friendly: Strollers roll aboard via ramps and Hotaluna has a diaper table, yet most boats lack change tables, the pier has no nursing room, and engine noise can unsettle infants on longer routes.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Allows time for a short cruise, a riverside picnic, and breaks for feeding and changing the baby.
Short Asakusa–Hinode cruise:
Take the 20-minute waterbus from Asakusa Pier to Hinode Pier.
Tip: Baby under 1 rides free; board via the ramp for easy stroller access.
Glass-roof HOTALUNA cruise to Odaiba:
Board the HOTALUNA vessel for a 60-minute trip to Odaiba Seaside Park.
Tip: Use the onboard diaper-changing station inside the accessible restroom.
Stroll and picnic at Sumida Park:
Walk steps from the pier to Sumida Park's lawns and playground.
Tip: Bring snacks and a blanket for a riverside picnic under the trees.

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, look for cherry blossoms along the riverbanks during your cruise.
