Down the vena river

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.

Geihinxi

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.

Burning lava flow

A lava flow spread over 1.5km wide and about 4km long at an elevation of about 1200m on the northeastern slope of Mount Iwate. A lava flow observation path is maintained around the area and can be seen up close. The craggy black rock is a cold and solidified magma that flowed out in the eruption of the Edo period. It speaks to the intensity of the eruption. It is well preserved and is also valuable academically, such as the record of the eruption time at that time remains. It is designated as a special natural monument of the country, so take out lava is prohibited, so let's be careful.
