A very nice and peaceful place, suitable for family outings in Saitama. In addition, there are many services there such as boating, kayaking, etc. The food in that area seems to be famous for Soba because there are quite a few Soba shops nearby. The most beautiful season is Spring and Fall so make sure you come here around that time.

Beautiful place to enjoy the nature. But not really recommended to visit in winters (of course you can just mark it off on the checklist). Preferably go in spring/summer. DON'T do the boat ride. It's so useless. 1000 yen for a 20 minutes ride. They may shorten the ride according to them but will not change the price. NOT WORTH. Other than that, great place to enjoy nature and good food.

It is an unusual terrain with a series of huge rock formations. There are many people near the boat pier, but as you move away from that area, the number of people decreases. It is a very relaxing place rich in nature. The kids enjoyed their rocky adventure. We can find many tadpoles and frogs here. The view of the boats on the river is also beautiful. The boats are very popular and you may have to wait in line for quite a while to get tickets.

A breathtaking river boat ride that lasts about 20 minutes. It starts around the Nagatoro train station and drops you off about 100m away from the starting location. The ride itself has calm and turbulent portions. The scenery at the end of the boat ride is majestic.

Beautiful Boat ride cost is 2000 yen per person. Well worth the price. At the end of the boat ride. There is a free shuttle bus taking you back to the train station. We went there late am on weekdays so was not too busy....

Going down the river was thrilling and I was able to see beautiful scenery.

very cool place. didn’t go for boat trip due to cold weather, but walking around the river was worthwhile enough! not raining season so waterfall was rather tiny, tho the patterned rocks are absolutely stunning.

Fun, beautiful place to visit if you're in town.

Nice and the view is wonderful especially if it is not crowded. It is not allowed to dip in the waters though.

Amazing place to visit and accessable from the station! A worthy to visit and good to have picnic! Everyone can visit all season but I think Spring is better to come!

Beautifull and relaxing place just one hour from ikebukuro by train. Outstanding nature and greenery to see at any time of the year.

Peaceful river, the time we visited in March is quiet reason, most of shops are closed and also no more boat services, i enjoyed it very much for this no tourists moment. If you prefer more activity and souvenir shopping, i suggested you double check when's the best month to visit before coming😀

Very cool place to go for a cheeky swim with friends. The water is nice and fresh. Strong current but great to be carried away alone with your thoughts. Also there are a couple of tall rocks to jump off of.

Quiet peaceful area. There are few kakigori shops nearby and affordable as well :)

Beautiful river, nice "path" to hike alongside (a bit Rocky) there are also boat rides available. A very calming scenic view

Nice view. Not so easy drive.

The river and the view are so beautiful. It's autumn so you can see colorful trees. Love it.

Probably a lot less crowded than usual but still one of the busiest places I have been in Corona times. Luckily everyone wears a mask. Great view of the blue green water and small rock climbing experience.

Saitama is quite far, but definitely a unique experience! Its beauty and simplicity makes the place even better. It’s also a great place for adventure, as there are many different things to explore.
