Nagatoro is a small but scenic town deep in the mountains of western Saitama Prefecture. Located about 20 minutes north of Chichibu by train, Nagatoro is a popular spot for Tokyo day trippers looking for hiking, river boat tours and wild water sports in largely unspoiled nature. The whole town of Nagatoro has been designated a prefectural nature park and preserve.
■BEST WAY TO GET THERE & AROUND
・SEIBU 1 or 2-day pass
・Chichibu 2-day Pass
■NAGATORO LINE KUDARI
The Nagatoro Line Kudari river boat experience has been part of Nagatoro since 1915, and is one of the town’s major attractions, bringing in 200,000 visitors a year. Ride a boat handled by a pair of skilled boatmen and view the gorgeous valley crafted by nature while cruising down fast rapids and gentle currents. Cancellations do occur in the event of bad weather.
■ASAMI REIZŌ
Asami Reizō has two branches separated just by a single train stop.
The main branch, Kanasaki, is accessible from Kami-Nagatoro Station, and is by far the most popular branch. In Summer you can expect to wait between 2 to 3hrs to get in. The other branch, Hodosan, is accessible from Nagatoro Station. It can still get busy here but not to the extent of the main branch.
