OKAYAMA X TOKYO: PLEASURE BOATS

After seeing the wonders of Tokyo by modern sightseeing boat on the Sumida River, take a trip to Kurashiki, an area that prospered under the rule of the Edo Shogunate (1603-1867). As you ride in a nostalgic rowboat, you'll feel as if you've slipped back in time from Tokyo to the far-off Edo period.
