Kumagawa River Cruise

Rafting The Kuma River with more than 100 years of history
The nature and beauty of the Kuma River evoke warm emotions. Hitoyoshi is famously known for the Kuma River which is synonymous with a wooden boat ride. Experiencing the Kuma River, one of the three fastest moving rivers in Japan, in a wooden boat is a comfortable way to enjoy the river.

Kuma River boat cruise has more than 100 years of history. The merchant in Hitoyoshi removed huge rocks in some parts of Kuma River and people could use Kuma River cruise to transport people and products since 1664. After opening the railway service between Hitoyoshi and Yatsushiro, the Kuma River cruise shifted to sightseeing usage. For the long history of Kuma river cruise, there were some famous people who got on the cruise.

Kuma River boat cruise has shown passengers the great seasonal changes and made their trip unforgettable. While cruising along, passengers can enjoy mountainous scenery along the river’s ravines and get up close to some of the area’s historic sites downstream. The crew provides a commentary on the area’s historic and natural points of interest, including pointing out birdsong from various local birds
