Representative scenic spots in Japan
Geibikei Gorge
Let me introduce you to Geibikei Gorge, which was selected as one of Japan's top 100 scenic spots. Boating is a must here. It is very famous because the scenery that unfolds as you cross the river in a traditional Japanese wooden boat is like a painting.
Let's go to Geibikei Valley located in Iwate Prefecture, Tohoku, where you can experience the beauty of the four seasons!
Magnificent nature and
A combination of traditional boating
Experience the majesty of nature as your boat passes among the strangely shaped rocks that naturally form around the river! You will probably be amazed. Or, on your way back from boating, why not enjoy some leisure time with a traditional song sung by a boatman as background music?
It is a 7-minute walk from Geibikei Station on the JR Ofunato Line, so please take note if you are planning a trip to Tohoku.
Boating to feel the four seasons
It's a beautiful place with different feelings in spring, summer, fall, and winter, so you'll be satisfied no matter when you go. Isn't it wonderful to row a wide and deep valley with over 100 years of history using the skill and power of a boatman rather than an engine? If you want to experience boating with fantastic scenery, I recommend Geibikei Valley!
