Explore the Geibi Gorge by a flat boat rowed by a boatman. Scenic spots such as Soufugan and Maryougan unfold one after another, and the innermost area exudes a mysterious charm. The boatman's song "Geibi Oiwake" enhances the travel atmosphere. In winter, kotatsu boats are available, allowing you to enjoy the winter scenery while keeping warm. The round trip takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes. From November 21 to March 31, pets are not allowed on board due to the houseboats.

The Higashiyama Washi paper has been handed down as one of the heritage of the Hiraizumi culture and has a tradition of more than 800 years. In addition to exhibiting and selling Higashiyama Washi paper, you can also experience production. If you pour the raw material of washi paper, which is made from the skin of kozo (kozo), into a wooden frame and put flowers, maple leaves, etc., you will have your own washi paper. It takes 20 minutes. After the sun dries, they mail me.

The valley of the country-designated Meishatsu, formed by the erosion of the rock face of the Kitakami Mountains by the Sunatetsu River [Satsugawa]. On both banks of the river, rock walls with a height of 30 to 100m continue for about 2km, and you can see a stunning view of waterfalls and rock formations. The new green in spring, the deep green in summer, the autumn leaves, the snowy scenery in winter and the changes of the four seasons are also great. In the valley exploration, the Geihana Gorge Funakari is a staple. It is a boat trip of about 90 minutes for the round trip from the departure and arrival station near JR Geibakei Station and turns back at Sanichigaoka. "Geibi Oiwake", where the boatman is singing while leisurely pointing at the pole, is stirring up. A kotatsu boat also operates in winter.
