【Mogami River Cruise】

Following in the footsteps of Matsuo Basho, you'll enjoy the seasonal scenery along the Mogami River, one of Japan's three greatest rapids, and listen to the boatman's songs and anecdotes. The gentle passage of the boat is reminiscent of the protagonist's rafting down the river in the TV series "Oshin." Kotatsu (warm kotatsu) are also available on the boat in winter, ensuring a cozy warmth even when snowing outside.

【Ginzan Onsen】

Ginzan Ginzan Onsen River, is a place where the gas lamps illuminate at dusk, creating a nostalgic Japanese atmosphere. It's like stepping into a time warp, leaving the bustling city behind and entering a Ghibli fairytale world, where the mind and body return to a tranquil state. The hot spring town's Wakuraku Foot Baths are natural hot springs, perfect for a relaxing break. Stroll around Ginzan Onsen Onsen's 22-meter-high Shirogane Falls, marked by a vermilion Kanseibashi Bridge at the entrance. Don Taisho-era clothing and create a photo of your own memories!
