Produced by Mr. Leiji Matsumoto,one of the best renowned
Japanese cartoonists, now runs from Asakusa to Odaiba
Seaside Park, to Toyosu and then back to Asakusa.
Himiko is a completely unique water bus with its streamline
shaped body with 3D windows. Mr. Matsumoto designed
based on its concepts, the image of teardrop and the
ship appealing to children. During the daytime the futuristic
ship runs through old Edo and modern Tokyo enabling

the floor panels are lit up to emphasize the ships sophisticated
design. Himiko is named after Queen Himiko who was the
first recognized independent lady in Japanese history.
