The Tokyo Cruise Ship (東京都観光汽船, Tōkyō-to Kankō Kisen; "Tokyo Metropolis Sightseeing Ship") is a water bus operator in Tokyo. It is a privately owned company operating public transport, unlike the Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association, another water bus operator in the city. It operates several public lines and offers services such as event cruises and chartered ships.
