Point

ONE OF THE 100 LANDSCAPES OF JAPAN?SCENIC BEAUTY / BOAT RIDES dOWN GEIBI GORGE
Spring
The "Lone Cherry blossom of Geibi Gorge" blooms in late-April,
while the best time to see the purple wisteria flowers against the bare cliff face is the middle of May.
(Cherry blossom viewing season: late April—early May; wisteria viewing season: mid-May)
Summer
Summer brings rich greenery along the rocky walls of the gorge, and fish follow the boats along the river. If it rains, you might find yourself drifting through a romantic mist.
Autumn
Autumn colors paint the entire gorge in brilliant shades of yellow, orange and red from mid October to early November, creating breathtaking views.
Winter
Boat rides operate all year round—you can even enjoy a winter cruise.
Only in winter can you enjoy our famous "Kinagashi Nabe" hotpot, seated at a cozy, heated kotatsu-style table as you float along the river through a snowy wonderland.
