Recently these ferries around Tokyo are becoming popular again and getting attention as tourist attraction. It is fun to take the ferry ride in Tokyo in any seasons. But many people love to take ferries in the spring, to enjoy the views of cherry blossom along Sumida River and in summer Tokyo’s famous firework can be seen as well. There are varieties of boats that are used to ferry patrons along the Sumida River, ranging from futuristic style to older style, one of the boats is replica of famous samurai warship. It belonged to one of Tokyo's rulers hundreds of years ago.
