Nagatoro Gorge
長瀞峡Saitama · Kanto
Nagatoro Gorge is a stretch of the Arakawa River in Saitama known for its 'iwadatami' rock shelves — broad slabs of layered stone along the bank — and for the traditional line-boat rides that run the rapids beneath them. The maples on the canyon walls make the boat ride especially popular in November.
