You set off from a quiet side street in Asakusa, the hum of an electric motor a soft companion as wooden shopfronts and lantern-lit gateways slide past. In three hours you can move at your own rhythm — pausing for Senso-ji’s thunderous thunder gate, threading narrow alleys lined with old shops, then gliding down to the Sumida River where barges and cranes mark the city’s relationship with water and trade.
