Experience the luxury of cruising through a scenic gorge ranked among Japan's 100 Best Landscapes
Keibi Gorge is a scenic valley in Ichinoseki City that was selected as one of Japan's 100 Best Landscapes. Towering cliffs nearly 100 meters high stretch for about 2 kilometers. You can take a boat operated by a boatman using a traditional pole, cruising through the gorge for approximately 90 minutes round trip.
At the turnaround point, you can get off the boat and take a walk. The signature "unma toss" game lets you try your luck by throwing small balls into holes across the river, adding to the fun.
The boatman's singing of "Geibi Oiwake" (a traditional folk song) adds atmospheric charm, allowing you to experience a time away from the everyday.
