All Reviews of Mogami Kyo Gorge

The river is really wide. While listening to the boatman sing, you can enjoy the autumn leaves on the mountains. Before you know it, the boat arrives at the shore and the ride is over.

The Mogami River is known as the mother river of Yamagata and is one of Japan’s three great rapids. It flows into the Sea of Japan at Sakata. I took the Mogami Gorge Basho sightseeing boat—when it’s cold, they provide a roof and heated tables on board. It really felt like the famous poem: 'While the monkeys on both banks keep calling, my light boat has already passed through a thousand mountains.'
