About This Destination

A relaxing hour-long boat ride down the Mogami River through a picturesque gorge, accompanied by the boatman's traditional songs. Spectacular in autumn foliage and winter snow.

Drift downstream through a picturesque gorge as boatmen guide your traditional vessel and entertain with folk songs echoing off the forested cliffs above. This relaxing hour-long journey on the Mogami River passes beneath the towering White Thread Falls and through scenery immortalized in haiku by the wandering poet Basho. Spring brings cherry blossoms cascading down mountainsides, summer offers cooling breezes, autumn paints the gorge in brilliant colors, and winter kotatsu boats keep passengers warm amid snow-dusted landscapes.
