Nagatoro-cho

Nagatoro line descent

A dynamic sightseeing boat ride down the varied flow of the Arakawa River, centered around rock pavements, with the boatman's single rod. The 6km route will be divided into two sections, from Oyahanabashi Bridge to Iwadatami Bridge, and from Iwadatami Bridge to Takasago Bridge. It's thrilling to take a boat trip down the river while admiring the rapids such as the small waterfall and scenic spots such as the rock pavement. It has a roof on rainy days, so you can enjoy it any time except during periods of high water or drought, and it has a special atmosphere during the seasons of fresh greenery and autumn leaves. The boatman will make the fun of going down the line even more exciting. If you complete the procedures at the headquarters in front of Nagatoro Station, a one-way bus will pick you up.
If you display your membership card when using it, you will receive a 10% discount on boarding fees (up to 5 companions allowed).
