Nihonbashi River Course

• 

  The current iteration of the symbolic Nihonbashi Bridge was built in 1911, and is the 20th version. The Japanese word for bridge is hashi, which can also be written as 8 (ha) and 4 (shi). Multiply these numbers together and you get 32, the total number of lion statues built on the bridge. See if you can find them all!

• 

  The cruise also gives a unique view of the largest bridge crossing the Nihonbashi River, the Edobashi Bridge, as it passes underneath it. Depending on the tide, you can almost touch the underside of the bridge.
