Marvel at the ever-changing beauty of curious rock formations and clear streams, shaped over 100 million years. A leisurely cruise through the Oboke and Koboke gorges lets you soak in the grandeur of untouched nature.

From the boat gliding gently along the emerald-green Yoshino River, you’ll have close-up views of towering cliffs, trees swaying in the river breeze, and the sparkling flow of water. Don’t miss the chance to experience the dynamic natural beauty of this remarkable gorge.

※ Cruise duration: approx. 30 minutes. Boarding and disembarking at the same location.

【Dining: Oboke Gorge Mannaka Restaurant】
Set in a spectacular location overlooking the Yoshino River, this restaurant offers local cuisine made with fresh regional ingredients, all while enjoying breathtaking views of the gorge.

Favorites include salt-grilled river fish, Iya soba noodles, and the original local specialty “Hidaru Ramen.” After your boat cruise, savor the flavors of the region while gazing at the gorge’s seasonal beauty.

From here, take in the dramatic rock faces of Koboke Gorge, the emerald-green Yoshino River below, and the lush mountains rising all around.

Nagoro Scarecrow Village (Kakashi no Sato)

You can spot over 350 scarecrows in this deep mountain village. One woman, Ayano Tsukimi, handmade all of them and creatively placed them around the area: in the fields working, waiting at bus stops, dancing local dances, etc. She welcomes visitors to walk around the village and enter the old school to see a glimpse of the past.
