The unique striped pattern of the rocks is called "conglomerate schist" and is known as a valuable geological landscape. The scenery changes with the seasons, from fresh greenery to autumn leaves to snowy scenery, and is always an impressive sight.

By boarding a pleasure boat, you can experience the power of the valley up close. From the boat, you can see the emerald green Yoshino River and the strange rocks and cliffs towering on both banks up close, offering a completely different perspective than the view from land. One of the attractions of the trip is the boatman's light-hearted storytelling, which allows you to enjoy the scenery even more while hearing about the history and legends of Oboke and Koboke.

Nearby is the roadside station Lapis Oboke.

There is an observation deck and a promenade, but the pleasure boat, which allows you to see the rock walls up close, is popular.

The pleasure boat departs from "Oboke Gorge Center". The round trip takes 30 minutes.

[Useful points of concern]
The sightseeing boats are very popular and are expected to be crowded, especially during peak times such as the autumn foliage season. There may be a wait before boarding. In addition, you will need to walk down some stairs and slopes to reach the boarding area, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes. In bad weather, the boat may be canceled, so it is important to check the operation status in advance.
