Overview

・Fantastic river mist: The most appealing aspect is undoubtedly the moment when the river is enveloped in mist. This phenomenon is particularly likely to occur during the early mornings and evenings of June to August when there is no wind. ・Boatman's guidance: The boatman, who is very knowledgeable about the local area, will share interesting stories about the history and nature of the region. ・Untouched Nature: The valley's beauty changes with the seasons. Whether you visit in spring with its fresh greenery, summer with its deep greenery, autumn with its colorful foliage, or winter with its beautiful snowy landscapes, you will always find something new and charming. ・Viewing the Tadami Line from the Water: You can also enjoy the rare experience of looking up at the iron bridge that spans the Tadami River from the water's surface.

Itinerary

Embark on a boat trip enveloped in fantastical river mist, where you can lose track of time. Experience the foggy passage of Mugenkyo. In the remote Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture, spanning the towns of Kanayama and Mishima along the Tadami River, lies “Mugenkyo,” a mystical landscape that feels like stepping into a world of ink wash painting. The traditional hand-paddled “ferry boats” that once supported the daily lives of the local community now invite visitors to experience an extraordinary, unforgettable journey. On a boat with no engine noise, all you can hear is the sound of water being paddled, birds chirping, and the wind blowing. Listen to the boatman talk about the history of the village that sank to the bottom of the dam and the nature of Okuaizu, and enjoy a special moment as you relax and let time pass by.
