girls on punt

Four girls were enjoying punt cruise on the Uzuma river which flows through the central area of Tochigi-shi, Tochigi-Pref, Japan.
The Tochigi-shi is an old merchant town that flourished by water (or canal) transportation between the town and Edo in the Edo period. The town still has many old merchant houses and storehouses built in Edo and Meiji period. Therefore, elegant and old-fashioned streets are still remained, and the City government maintains those old things to promote the tourism. If you have a chance to visit Tokyo SkyTree, I would like to recommend you to extend your trip to Tchigi-shi for sight seeing. You would be arrived at Tochigi only one hour ride by express train of Tobu Nikko Line from Asakusa, or you can see the sights by a stopover on the way to Nikko.
