Hamamatsucho doesn't really have the image of a tourist destination, but you can actually board a water bus from Waters Takeshiba and Hinode Pier, both located near HOTEL TAVINOS Hamamatsucho 😲✨ This time, out of the 10 types of water buses available, we'll be introducing a trip on the "HOTALUNA" !

 

What is the water bus "HOTALUNA"?

Designed by manga and anime master Reiji Matsumoto, the HOTALUNA is a ship inspired by a spaceship.
The streamlined body and color make me feel like I'm riding on a vehicle from the near future and I can't help but feel excited😍🌟
The ship also has large windows, so you can enjoy the view from anywhere.🚢✨

There are two courses

You can board the HOTALUNA from Hinode Pier, a 5-minute walk from HOTEL TAVINOS Hamamatsucho.
There are two routes to Asakusa (40 minutes) and Odaiba Seaside Park (20 minutes)
On board, you can listen to announcements from the Galaxy Express 999 characters, such as Tetsuro Hoshino, Maetel and the conductor, and enjoy your water bus trip together😍👍
