    Nigata Pref. Murakamishi Kuwagawa 975-44
    Sasagawa-nagare Coast Boat Ride last around 40 minutes; passengers can enjoy viewing incredibly clear waters (ranked among the Top 100 clearest in Japan) and feeding the seagulls. Between April and October, there is also a special, once-a-month “Yoshitsune Journey - Sasagawa Nagare Evening Cruise,” which is very enjoyable; watching the sun setting over the Sea of Japan and admiring the beautiful scenery of the Sasagawa Nagare coast is a deeply moving experience. The dock from which the boat trips depart is located around 15-minute walk from JR Kuwagawa Station.

    16:00が最終便だと思って、15:30頃に着きましたが、今出たこところだから待って下さいと言われて、16:15の出航でした。 HPをもう一度見てみると、きちんと時間が決まってないようでした。 待合室の2階がカフェになっていて、海を見ながらゆっくり出来るので良かったです。 船から見る景色はとても綺麗で、説明もあるので楽しめました。 折り返した後はカモメの餌やりタイムになります。

    This is a 40-minute round trip river cruise down the Agano River. The boats depart every hour, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., from the Roadside Station Aga no sato, along National Route 49. The cruise is accompanied by a talk from the ferryman and with cheerful boating songs. Also not to be missed is the beautiful valley of Okuaga, one of the 100 Landscapes of Japan. In the spring and summer, the valley is covered with flowers, burning autumn leaves in the fall, and a blanket of snow in the winter. The winter landscape is especially fantastic, the carpet of snow seeming as if it had come out of an ink painting.

    紅葉の時期に合わせて行きました。舟下りということですが、最上川や猊鼻渓などの舟下りをイメージして行くとがっかりします。道の駅を起点にエンジンのついた船でぐるっと周回するだけなので、特に風情もなく、景色もごく普通です。他の方の口コミに船頭さんが面白く歌も上手と書いてありますが、私たちの船はびっくりするぐらい音痴な方でした。あまりに音程を外されるので船内はそれなりに笑いで盛り上がっていましたが、200...
