Fantastic experience. Going down the gorge on the boat ride was calming. Guide gave an explanation in Japanese throughout the boat ride, even sang a Japanese song at the end. We docked in the middle of the trip to walk and explore the bank before heading back to the starting point.
Nice experience. Relaxing
