Boat Tour on the Ono River in Sawara

Sawara in Katori City, Chiba Prefecture is known as 'Little Edo' and is designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings, with traditional Edo-period storehouse-style structures lining the Ono River. On the Ono River boat tour, you can enjoy approximately 30 minutes of scenic boating guided by a skilled boatman. As you leisurely navigate in a hand-rowed boat through picturesque scenery with willow branches swaying above the water, viewing the townscape from this water-based perspective offers an exceptional experience. The boatman provides commentary on notable sights including the former residence of Ino Tadataka and the Toi Bridge (Jaajaa Bridge). The spring cherry blossoms and autumn foliage seasons are particularly stunning.
