Mogami Gorge Basho Line Boat Cruise and Shiraito Falls
A spectacular Yamagata course following the Mogami River—the same waters that Matsuo Basho traveled—with three generations aboard a boat. After being moved by the magnificent floats of the Shinjo Festival (a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage) at the Shinjo Furusato History Center, enjoy a meal at the Tozawa-han Funabansho before embarking on the Mogami Gorge Basho Line boat cruise. Listen to the boatman's Mogami River boat song echoing through the gorge on a roughly one-hour river journey, then visit the Shiraito Falls Drive-in to admire one of Japan's One Hundred Best Waterfalls, and browse for souvenirs at Michi no Eki Tozawa. This boat tour, where you can savor pristine nature while seated comfortably, is perfect for three-generation families traveling with grandparents and grandchildren.
