A water taxi that tours the city of Hiroshima, which flourishes as a water capital.
Hiroshima has long flourished as a water city. Gangi are stepped wharves that developed during the Edo period when boat transport was popular. Even now, 400 new and old Gangi remain throughout the city. These Gangi have been revived as wharves and small boats are operated as river water taxis called Gangi Taxi. Enjoy private trips such as courses around the history of the water city, courses that connect Hiroshima Station, the famous Shukkeien Garden, and the Peace Memorial Park, as well as tours of small islands in the Seto Inland Sea. *Please note* There are several types of boats operating on Hiroshima's rivers. Gangi Taxi are marked by white boats with three colors: orange, green, and blue.
