This time, I specifically planned to see Tokyo from the water and experience its unique character from a completely different perspective. The clouds were a little thick and the weather was overcast on the day of the cruise, but as the ship slowly approached the unusually shaped Tokyo Gate Bridge, I still couldn’t help taking a closer look.

From a distance, the bridge’s distinctive streamlined appearance really looks like two enormous dinosaurs facing each other across the water, both impressive and slightly cute. Enjoying a delicious meal onboard while looking up from the water at this modern landmark, which resembles a giant beast, offered a very fresh perspective. Although there were no blue skies or white clouds, this rare experience of seeing Tokyo from the water and getting a close look at its distinctive bridge was still full of fun and surprises.

The Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel, where I stayed on this trip to Tokyo, was impressive. It’s in an excellent location, with a quick train ride from Tokyo Station and an easy walk of about five minutes from Shiomi Station.

As soon as I entered the lobby, I was greeted by a light, relaxing essential oil fragrance, along with plenty of artwork and stylish decor that created a wonderful atmosphere. The guest room was warm and comfortable, making it easy to unwind after a long day. Best of all, the hotel has a spacious and comfortable public bath where you can soak and enjoy a relaxing time. Breakfast the next morning was also varied and delicious, with everything from main dishes to delicate small bites leaving me satisfied. Overall, it was a wonderful, perfect stay that made me want to come back again.
Rainbow Bridge

“Rainbow Bridge,” an approximately 800-meter-long suspension bridge, is an iconic part of Tokyo architecture that connects Odaiba and Shibaura. At night the bridge is beautifully illuminated, and many people visit it to take pictures of one of Tokyo’s most well-known night views. The bridge has a dual structure: the upper section functions as an Metropolitan expressway, while the lower section is used by a general roadway, the Yurikamome Line, and a walking path.

During the Symphony Cruise, we were also able to get an up-close view of Rainbow Bridge, one of Tokyo’s most iconic landmarks.

I remember always seeing its romantic appearance in Japanese dramas, brilliantly illuminated and sparkling after dark, and it had long been a dream destination for me. Although the flight and cruise schedules meant that I didn’t get the chance to see it lit up at night and witness its dazzling transformation, seeing its elegant white structure and simple beauty in the evening was also a rare experience.

Looking at this familiar bridge from the water, there was less of the bustle of neon lights and more of a calm, refreshing feeling. This unexpected glimpse of its understated side also left me with a special and heartwarming memory of this cruise.
Symphony Cruise

“Symphony Cruise" takes passengers on an original route around Tokyo Bay that takes anywhere from 50 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes. There are two ships in operation: the 450-passenger "Classica" and the 600-passenger "Moderna," both of which are restaurant ships offering authentic cuisine prepared onboard. The passengers can choose from French, Italian, sushi dining, and other cuisines to suit their tastes and situations.

For this trip to Tokyo, I specifically arranged a special dinner cruise aboard the Symphony in Tokyo Bay so I could enjoy Tokyo’s captivating scenery from a different perspective on the water. Unfortunately, it happened to be cloudy that day, so I didn’t get to see a beautiful sunset, but after experiencing it, I still felt it was very worthwhile.

Sitting in the comfortable, elegant cabin and enjoying a refined dinner while watching Tokyo’s glittering waterfront cityscape and famous landmarks slowly recede through the large windows created an especially warm and relaxing atmosphere. After dinner, I went out on deck and felt the slightly cool sea breeze while taking in the illuminated city skyline in the distance, which had its own distinctive sense of romance. This dining experience on the water offered a temporary escape from the noise and bustle of the city. Even without the sunset, it was still a thoroughly enjoyable and beautiful memory worth treasuring.
