Take a boat ride in an ancient mountain town in the Tohoku region.

#discoveryourownjapan Take a boat trip in the ancient valley in Iwate City No need to book a ticket in advance, just buy a ticket at the boat landing. You can buy fish food to feed the fish/ducks while on the boat trip. The atmosphere on the wooden boat trip is very good. It is a boat without a motor, rowed by people both going and returning, allowing you to see the natural valley in a peaceful manner. I went in November, the red leaves had all fallen, but the scenery was still beautiful. When we reached the boat return point, we had 20 minutes to walk around. At the very end of the valley, there was a hole for wishing stones. There was a hole on the cliff face, 124 meters high. We could buy stones with wishes as we liked (5 rooms for 100 yen). Try throwing them. If you throw them into the hole, your wish will come true!! But it was very far away, no one could throw them in. 😢 The boat trip took about 90 minutes, so we walked around. The boat driver sang a song for us on the way back. It was the song Gebi Oiwake, an ancient folk song that is hard to find. #tohoku #TohokuRegion #AutumnFall #AutumnAutumnFall #TravelJapan
