Tenryu Line Kudari

You can enjoy a cruise of about 50 minutes . We will go down the Tenryu Gorge while enjoying the seasonal atmosphere in the valley of nature. The fresh green of spring, the azaleas of Iwama, the contrast of wild cherry blossoms, and the autumn leaves that color the river surface create a splendid and mysterious beauty.

Footbath Cafe: Toemon

An old-fashioned restaurant featuring its unique thatched roof. Directly operated by Futarishizuka, an inn of Yamanokusa. Their staple sauced cutlet bowls and footbaths can also be enjoyed. Aside from sauced cutlet bowls, Shinshu soba noodles are also available. The thick and hearty sauce is not too rich, yet delicious until the very end.
