Shogawa Gorge Sightseeing Cruise Boat Dock

Flow of the course

About this spot

The star of Shogawa Gorge sightseeing is the sightseeing boat departing from Komaki Port. The boat travels across the emerald-green waters of the Komaki Dam reservoir and ventures deep into the gorge with steep mountainsides rising on both banks. The route to Omaki Hot Spring, a remote destination famous for its secluded inn accessible only by boat, is also called the "Hidden Gorge Cruise," where visitors can enjoy seasonal gorge scenery from the deck—fresh green in spring, colorful foliage in autumn, and snow-covered winter landscapes. The quiet moment filled only with engine and water sounds is perfect for leisurely travelers.

Tips

With limited departures, confirm the boat schedule in advance through official information. Short-trip cruises are also available, so you can choose based on your schedule. Free parking is available at Komaki Port. The deck is cooler and more breezy than town areas, so bringing a light jacket is comfortable. If you're prone to seasickness, take motion sickness medication before boarding.

Best time to visit

Approximately 2 hours (including round-trip boarding and waiting time). The contrast between the lake surface and scenery is especially striking during the fresh green and autumn foliage seasons.
