Getting TO/AROUND: If you come early, consult an urology specialist. If you can sit at the front seats you will have more leg space and a nice view of Tokyo' streets, and then of Tokyo's highway. Remember that the trip will last for a while, most of the delays will be caused by traffic in the highway that takes you across Tokyo.

Getting TO/AROUND: The signal indicates the way to Hakozaki. You are bound for Tsukuba, remember, but you may be asking yourself what is this Hakozaki. Hakozaki is located at the crossing point of the Metropolitan Expressway #9 and #6. The so called "gate to abroad" or Tokyo City Air Terminal in Hakozaki functions as a key transportation point. The origin of the name Hakozaki was taken after the name of Hakozaki Shrine. This area used to be an island surrounded by the Sumida, Nihombashi, and Hakozaki Rivers until 1970.

Getting TO/AROUND: Sometimes you feel like you could move faster if you take the roads below the highway. They always look greeener and clearer than the highway that was built to ease the traffic in the capital.

Getting TO/AROUND: Yakatabune are always available, but Tokyoites really cheerish the trip during New Year celebrations, cherry blossom viewing, hanabi (fireworks) in summer, and bonenkai (year-end parties).

Getting TO/AROUND: These are cherry trees. When they are in full bloom they are one of the most beautiful scenes in Tokyo. Seeing them when you cruise along the river is a must do activity.

Getting TO/AROUND: Here is our designated driver. He has a microphone and I was waiting for him to start singing without notice. Nope. He took us safely to our destination without uttering anything beyond: thanks for using our line and we hope you had a pleasant trip. You are welcome and the trip was not that bad.
