Shimanto River Yakatabune Boat Tour and Sada Chinkabasashi Bridge: A Leisurely Journey Along the Clear Stream

A full-day course to leisurely explore the Shimanto River, known as "Japan's Last Clear Stream," by yakatabune boat. The main attraction is the boat itself, gliding just above the water's surface. With windows open to the river breeze, passing beneath submerged bridges is an unforgettable experience for any vehicle enthusiast. In the morning, learn about river creatures at Shimanto Gakuyukan Akitsuio, a museum of dragonflies and river fish, then walk across Sada Chinkabasashi Bridge (佐田沈下橋), the Shimanto's longest submerged bridge. Enjoy a bento box of river delicacies aboard the boat, spend photography time at the peaceful Sannomichi Chinkabasashi Bridge, and finish with souvenir shopping at the specialty shop. Combining two modes of transportation—car and boat—this leisurely, luxurious boat journey lets you fully savor the clear stream.
