Go down Mogami River Boat Mogami Gorge Basho Line Sightseeing

A road station built for the purpose of Japan-South Korea friendship. It features a building full of exoticism, and the contrast with the majestic view of the Mogami River that runs in front of you. The goods museum has Korean sweets, liquor, cosmetics and goods, as well as famous products from Yamagata Prefecture and Tozawa Village. There is also a Korean restaurant, "Seoul Bulgogi", where you can taste stone-yaki bibimbap and Tozawa-ryū cold noodles using local buckwheat flour, and "Tozawa Nongraku-shi", a direct-selling place for local sesame. There is also a spot where you can shoot in the national costume "Chima Chogori", and you can also enjoy a different cultural experience as if you were on a trip to Korea.

An embarkation point facility that stands at the Koguchi port of the "Mogamikyo Basho Line sightseeing boat down" operated by Mogamikyo Basho Line Tourism Co., Ltd. There is a reception desk, as well as a souvenir shop and a restaurant. The souvenir shop sells liquor items such as the limited-sale shochu "Mogami Kawakudari", as well as the "Higashiyama-yaki", a pottery from the city of Shinjo that has continued since the Edo period. At the restaurant "Basho-an", we recommend Araiso ramen with plenty of seafood limited to 10 meals a day, and countryside soba with the pungency of radish. In the handmade soba experience workshop on the premises, you can enjoy making handmade soba using fragrant buckwheat flour (reservation required at least 3 days in advance).

This cedar, which stands near Mogami Gorge, has multiple branches developing like an octopus foot from a trunk divided in two. It is more than 500 years old, and 11m is one of the largest in Japan. The trekking course is not maintained, so a guide is required. For more information, please contact the Mogami Gorge Guide Association (telephone 0233-72-2001).
