Quintessentially Tokyo
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009The photos from the previous post, “Under the Bridge” were taken from the Tokyo Water bus, Himiko that, designed by renowned Japanese cartoonists Leiji Matsumoto, on occasion, doubles as Jicoo, the floating bar/club. We got our electro-groove on, post Yokota, to the pulsating beats of our dear friend and Tokyo resident, DJ MALO. We passed under Rainbow bridge several times criss-crossing across Tokyo Bay. I can not think of a more Modern Tokyo thing to do.
Himiko’s cockpit.
Himiko, named after Queen Himiko, is a completely unique water bus with its futuristic teardrop design, streamline-shaped body, and 3D windows. During the daytime, the ship runs through old Edo and modern Tokyo while enjoying 360-degree panoramic view. Definitely recommend taking a cruise on her down the Sumida…Good fun.
