Nagatoro River Gorge

長瀞渓谷
River gorge with rock terraces resembling tatami mats and traditional wooden boat rapids tours.
A dramatic river gorge where the Arakawa River has carved through layers of crystalline schist, creating natural rock terraces called 'Iwadatami' that resemble neatly stacked tatami mats. Traditional wooden boats navigate the rapids on guided tours, while the exposed rock layers serve as an outdoor geology textbook spanning 500 million years of plate tectonics.
