TOKYO WATERSIDE
Catching the summer wind, we will be enjoy Tokyo waterside walking. Odaiba and Shinagawa, Shibaura, Shiodome, Tsukiji and
Kachidoki give way to the flock of skyscrpers in Tokyobay.Then the dapper looking tower appears before the eyes.
The Kanda River runs under the bridge, and trains come and go every minute at the station located at its foot. Trees along the river reach out
with full branches and leaves during this season, giving pause to admire a beautiful sight.
