Operated by the Chichibu Railway, the Nagatoro Rhine Cruise is one of the most thrilling activities you can do in the region.
The boat activity is separated into two 20-minute courses, which the boatsman will guide you to either one or the other. The “A” course will begin with a short shuttle ride to the starting position upstream and end at Iwadatami, whereas “B” course begins at Iwadatami and ends downriver, where a shuttle will be provided to take you back to the Nagatoro Rhine Cruise Ticket shop.
You don’t need to prepare anything special, but wear clothing you don’t mind getting wet; a life vest and a tarp will be provided for safety reasons and to keep you dry as much as possible, but you are still going through some rapids after all!
Be sure to keep an eye on the weather and the official website/X account for any updates.
For adults (junior high and above), prices will be ¥2,000 and ¥0 on busy days/weekends. Tickets for kids younger than 12 will only cost ¥1,000 (¥1,100 on busy days).
