Sumida River Cruise

This boat trip from the Hama Rikyu garden to Asakusa got a big thumbs up from Frommer's and pretty good reviews on Trip Advisor. It was OK, but not a must-do at all. The sightseeing announcements were sparse and barely audible. The views out of this glass boat weren't great, turns out the river doesn't really offer good views of much anyway, and in spite of outside temps in the 50s, it was boiling hot in this greenhouse. On the plus side, it was a different experience and got us up to Asakusa where we saw the old shrine.
