TOKYO, Aug. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau, affiliated with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, has released 360-degree virtual reality videos via the CHUGOKU+SHIKOKU x TOKYO Website.

Pleasure Boats: After seeing the wonders of Tokyo by modern sightseeing boat on the Sumida River, take a trip to Kurashiki, an area that prospered under the rule of the Edo Shogunate (1603-1867). As you ride in a nostalgic rowboat, you'll feel as if you've slipped back in time from Tokyo to the Edo Period.
