From fishing for your dinner to riding on whitewater rapids, you can do it all in Nagatoro!
Nagatoro, a six-kilometer valley in Saitama, has flourished as a tourist destination since the late 1800s. Receiving two million visitors each year, its biggest draw is undoubtedly the stunning Arakawa River and the Nagatoro Iwadatami, a 500-meter-long stretch of exposed rocks that look like layers of overlapping tatami mats. Here, you can take it easy while on a guided riverboat tour, led by skilled boatmen who navigate the rapid currents with ease.
