In the past, this area was called "Azusawa Riverbank" and was a busy place for shipping, loading and unloading various goods. Today, the area has been transformed into the Azusawa Riverbank Plaza, and is used as a departure and arrival point for the Tokyo Mizube Line, a water bus service that allows passengers to enjoy boat trips along the Sumida River, Arakawa River, and the waterfront area (please check the official website for operation status).
