河道很寬闊,一邊聽船夫唱著船歌一邊看群山紅葉,在欣賞大自然的同時船就抵達了岸上。

Mogami Kyo Gorge
Go down the river on a boat through the majestic gorge.
Mogami River is a prominent grade A river, counted as one of Japan’s Three Greatest Rapids. The middle area of it (From Furukuchi District in Tozawa Village to Kiyokawa District in Shonai Town) is a 15km-long scenic gorge called Mogami Gorge.
Even though driving on Route 47 along the River is quite fun, a boat ride is the best if you want to enjoy the scenery along the Mogami River. The boatman will sing his favorite sailing song and give a tour guide in a local dialect, while passing the dynamic cliffs on the right and left.
In the TV drama Oshin, the heroine leaves her parents for a job in town. The scene where she goes down the river on a raft was filmed here.
In spring, wild cherries bloom. In summer, fresh green, In fall, bright colors, and in winter, snowscape in Mogami Gorge. Two companies run the boating service on different routes. Get on the boat at the right landing for your route. Both companies offer Kotatsu (heated seating) in winter for your comfort. For tourists from other countries, language services are available (Check the website for details). If you come on public transportation, you will be using JR Rikuusai Line which runs once in 2 hours. Plan your trip carefully.

最上川是山形縣的母親河,也是日本三大急流之一,從酒田入日本海,乘坐最上峽芭蕉觀光遊船,天氣冷船上有頂棚也會提供暖桌,好比一首兩岸猿聲啼不住輕舟已過萬重山。
