Nagai Dam Lake Fall Foliage Cruise

At Nagai Dam Lake 'Nagai Hyakushuuko' in Nagai City, Yamagata Prefecture, fall foliage cruises operate during autumn. The red and yellow autumn leaves reflected on the water shimmer like mirrors, and from the sightseeing boat you can appreciate the scenic gorge beauty that can only be seen from the water. The course travels upstream to Aiji Sawaguchi, which is normally closed to the public, allowing you to experience the mystique of discovering pristine, untouched nature. Nagai City is also known as the Land of Irises, with the spring iris festival and autumn fall foliage cruise serving as its two major events.
