In this study, panoramas of the Google Street Map were used to evaluate the aesthetics quality of three blue spaces environment in the Tokyo, and discussed factors affecting these aesthetic qualities. The founding of the paper: 1) the environmental characteristics of the three selected UBSs are different; 2) three UBS with different environmental visual factors (SVF, BVF, and TVF); 3) the Google Street View panoramas used in the study enable viewers to perceive the differences in the aesthetic quality of different environments; 4) the most significant preference predictor for three UBS is Mystery, and “Multisensority & Nature” and “Sublimity” are two significant preference predictor for urban canal. The results of the study have practical and managerial implications for improving the environmental aesthetic quality of urban blue spaces.
