The Toden, recently renamed Tokyo Sakura Tram, serves the north of Tokyo from east to west. It runs near Ikebukuro or Waseda, and makes a long trip to Minowabashi, not far from Asakusa. In doing so, it passes through many lesser-known and more popular neighborhoods, which have been undergoing major changes in recent years. There are nice walks along the streetcar, around Zoshigaya in the west or Arakawa in the east. Lined with beautiful roses during most of the year, the line is an attraction in itself.

Reservations can also be made through their website.

The Skybus group offers many sightseeing tours by bus, or, for a little extra originality, by amphibious bus.

The rides offer great views. We particularly recommend the Odaiba tours for an outing with friends or family.
