Besides, some courses in addition to the standard tourist spots also include popular hotel buffets and stage performances.

Sky Duck the 3.7-meter-tall amphibious bus takes visitors past the Tokyo Skytree tower and other popular sites before descending a ramp into the Kyu-Nakagawa River in Tokyo’s Koto Ward.
After navigating the roads, the tour comes to a climax when the bus makes the transition from land to water, a process nicknamed “splash point”. The thrill of entering into the water carries the same intensity and excitement as an amusement park attraction.
For Sky duck tours reservations are required. It is a fun ride even though foreign language tour guidance is not available.
