Newly constructed Water Bus “Himiko” Produced by Mr. Leiji Matsumoto, one of the best renowned Japanese cartoonists, now runs from Asakusa to Odaiba Seaside Park, to Toyosu and then back to Asakusa.

Himiko is a completely unique water bus with its streamline shaped body with 3D windows. Mr. Matsumoto designed based on its concepts, the image of teardrop and the ship appealing to children. During the daytime the futuristic ship runs through old Edo and modern Tokyo while enjoying 360-degree panoramic view. At night the floor panels are lit up and emphasise the ship’s sophisticated design. Himiko is named after Queen Himiko who was the first recognised independent lady in Japanese history.

And now we have a nice kit of the Himiko from Fujimi! The kit builds into a waterline model, and includes pre-cut self-adhesive masking seals to help paint all those windows.
