1 / 9

Counted as one of the hundred most beautiful scenic spots in Japan, Geibikei Gorge is a river valley more than 2 kilometers long. With steep cliffs rising up to 100 meters from the river bank, this valley deep inside the mountains has been designated as one of Japan’s National Scenic Spots. The best way to enjoy Geibikei Gorge’s wonderful views is through boating, which allows you to enjoy the changes of the seasons. Moreover, if you get a chance to ride the “Kotatsu Boat” during the snowy winter time, it is accompanied with delicious hot-pot meal. Floating through the waters with the treasure trove of pleasant scenery in the background is a uniquely calming experience.
