  • Changing Waterbus Routes and Increasingly Diverse Boat Designs in the Tokyo Rinkai (Waterfront) Area
    European Journal of Geography Volume 5, Number 4:47 – 55, November 2014 ©Association of European Geographers CHANGING WATERBUS ROUTES AND INCREASINGLY DIVERSE BOAT DESIGNS IN THE TOKYO RINKAI (WATERFRONT) AREA Kei OTA Tokyo Metropolitan University, Department of Tourism Science, Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, 1–1 Minami-ohsawa, Hachioji-shi, Tokyo 192–0397 Japan [email protected] http://www.ues.tmu.ac.jp/tourism Abstract Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in the Tokyo waterfront, which includes the Sumida River and Tokyo Rinkai areas. This research investigates the changing waterbus routes and increasingly diverse boats operating in the Tokyo Rinkai area. The history of waterbuses in Tokyo began during the Meiji Period; business declined during the period of rapid economic growth because of deteriorating water quality. New waterbus operators were inspired to enter the market when water quality improved during the waterfront boom of the 1980s. In the 1990s, there were wide-area routes on the Arakawa and Kyu-Edogawa rivers, but these were replaced by routes on the Sumida River and near Odaiba in the 2000s. In recent years, the variety of different boats has increased due to the introduction of small boats that travel on small and medium-sized rivers, as well as new model boats with unique designs. This has enhanced the role of waterbuses as tourist attractions. Keywords: Tokyo Rinkai area, waterbus, route, urban tourism, tourist attraction 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Research background and objective In recent years, interest in the Tokyo waterfront, including the Sumida River and Tokyo Rinkai area, has been growing due to factors such as the construction of the Tokyo Skytree (May 2012) and Tokyo’s successful bid to hold the 2020 Olympic Games (September 2013).

All Rights Reserved. Notes 1. This document is the report of “Project for drafting the Management Plan for Preserving the Yoyogi National Stadium as a Living Heritage.” With the Japan Sport Council (hereafter, JSC) as key administrator, surveys were conducted from January 2018 to March 2019. The surveys and the management plan drafting were done on the assumption that the Yoyogi Stadium would be managed with an eye toward receiving a third party’s recognition for its cultural value, such as inscription on the World Heritage List and designation as an Important Cultural Property. JSC received a grant from the Getty Foundation, a non-governmental organization in the United States which supports conservation of heritage sites internationally. The Japan Cultural Heritage Consultancy was contracted to create the report on behalf of JSC. 2. The surveys were conducted in collaboration with the following research laboratories and individual: Saikaku Toyokowa laboratory at Chiba University; Manabu Chiba and Naoto Nakajima laboratories at the University of Tokyo; Yoshiyuki Yamana laboratory at Tokyo University of Science; and Keisuke Fujii, Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo. The survey team consulted with Ms. Sheridan Burke who is an expert on heritage conservation and management in Australia. 3.
