Yakiri-no-Watashi Ferryboat Crossing

This historic ferryboat crossing, which dates back to the 1600s, connects Shibamata in Katsushika City with Matsudo City in Chiba Prefecture on the opposite bank. There is no timetable; boats depart once enough passengers have boarded.

This is the only ferry still operating in Tokyo. There’s no set schedule—once enough people show up, the boat leaves. The ride takes about 5 minutes. It connects Shibamata in Katsushika Ward and Yakiri in Chiba. I was surprised that after a short while, the boatman switched to using a motor instead of rowing, which was different from what I had imagined.

Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine has a long history and is the largest Hachiman shrine in Tokyo. Besides New Year’s visits, they also hold regular festivals and antique markets.
The shrine’s purification fountain is really impressive, with a golden phoenix on each side. Nearby, there’s a pond dedicated to the Fukagawa Dragon God, where you can place your written wishes in the water for blessings. There are also many monuments honoring sumo wrestlers who have achieved the highest ranks over the years.
