There is a Tokyo that can only be seen from the water.
It is said that there are around 107 waterways flowing through Tokyo. On the Tokyo Great Kayaking Tour, you can travel through these waterways together with an English-speaking guide. There are various course types and lengths, such as a 1-hour course or a 3-hour course, so you can easily choose one which will fit your travel schedule. Reservation is required, so be sure to inquire if interested!
Comments from MIMARU Staff
MIMARU staff were able to see a beautiful sunset while trying out the 1-hour evening course!
“Since the tour is through the city, I didn’t expect to see any nice scenery, but we saw a nice sunset! The river waves were bigger, and the speed of the water flow was faster than I expected, so the 1-hour course was good for my physical ability.”
“The kayak we used was meant for 2 people, so it felt quite stable and safe. On the Sumida River, the waves from other boats were bigger than I expected. It might be a bit difficult for small children, but people who like adventures and the outdoors will have fun!”
①First, you will put on your life jacket and listen to an explanation of the course.
➁Then, it’s time to set off! The moment you board the kayak might feel a bit nerve-wracking but it’s the start of an adventure!
Don’t worry! The guide will teach you all about kayaking and how to paddle, so even beginners can feel at ease.

The view of the city from the water was stunning and impressed our MIMARU staff!
It’s highly recommended for people who want a unique, active way to explore Tokyo.

※Please note that the tour may be cancelled due to weather or wave conditions. Thank you for your understanding.
