Kinugawa River Boat Cruise (鬼怒川ライン下り)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is the signature activity of Kinugawa Onsen: riding a boat down the gorge. Watching the boatman skillfully pole the boat through the rapids is thrilling, and you can feel the rock faces and lush gorge scenery on both banks up close. Experiencing the thrill and natural scenery at the same time makes this a classic activity not to be missed when visiting Kinugawa Onsen.

Tips

About 10 minutes by car from Ryuokyo Valley. Operating hours and the boarding location can change depending on the season and weather, so it is reassuring to check official information in advance. You may get splashed, so bringing a change of clothes is a good idea.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 20 minutes. The afternoon, when the sunlight softens, is a good time to board.
