[2025 Ichinoseki Attraction] Travel Guide for Geibikei (Updated Jun)

#2024TravelReview When you come to Iwate Prefecture in the northeast, how can you not experience the #Geibikei River boat trip at one of Japan's 100 scenic spots! Especially in autumn, the red and yellow maple leaves on the rock walls of the stream form a beautiful landscape painting. Driving to Geibikei is the most convenient means of transportation. You can also visit the surrounding attractions #Chusonji #Motsuji #Genbi Gorge, or take the tram and then transfer to the bus. The Geibi River cruise is a human-powered paddle boat. The boatman stands at the bow and uses a very long paddle to paddle forward. There are wild ducks swimming beside the boat in the creek, diving and water skiing from time to time. You can also feed the ducks, which is quite therapeutic. The boatman will also improvise a ballad called "Geibi Oiwake", and the loud singing will echo through the valley, which is quite interesting! It makes people unconsciously pick up their phones to record the video, it's awesome. The Geibikei cruise experience ticket price is ¥1800, and you can pay with PayPal which is good. After buying the ticket, you can go and board according to the time. It takes about 1 hour, which is a very good experience. #日本東北自由旅行 #東北枫赏 #日本百景 #Geibikei

Unfortunately I am not visiting in the right seasons. This scene is after winter time and on going to Spring. Based on the information, if visit in Autumn and Winter would be a very good experience, I wish I do have chance to visit here again to see the different season of the natural views. Me and my family spent time on the river boat ride which is a great memories :) #iwatejapan

#springwander A valley towering along the Sunatetsu River, a tributary of the Kitakami River that flows north and south of Iwate Prefecture. It was formed by erosion, and the cliffs ranging from 50m to 100m in height continue for about 2 km. The fantastic scenery dotted with strange rocks, caves, waterfalls, etc. is counted as one of the 100 scenic spots in Japan and is also designated as a national historical natural monument. To see the powerful scenery from the water, use the "boat descent", which takes about 90 minutes to go back and forth on the river. The appearance of the boatman skilfully maneuvering the boat with a single boatman and the boatman's song "Keibi Oiwake" are also one of the specialties of the Kohakei.

This time I went to Iwate Hanamaki Morioka for a self-guided tour. I didn't expect to encounter heavy snow before departure. I drove for two days to visit Genbikei, Geibikei, Tazawako, and Akita's Bujiashiki. The snow made this trip more beautiful. There are not many tourists in Tohoku in winter, and there is less noise and more tranquility. The whole trip was very leisurely and I enjoyed the slow life in Tohoku, which is very different from the summer. I felt very friendly wherever I went. Iwate is really suitable for slow travel. I will definitely arrange to visit again if I have the chance. 💞Recommended reason: slow travel, leisure, beautiful scenery 💰Per capita consumption: Medium Day 2: Yanbi Gorge, Geibike Gorge Day 3: Lake Tazawa, Kakunodate Samurai Yashiki Street, Michinoku Akita Pudding Shop Day 3: Morioka Castle Ruins, Morioka Hachimangu Shrine, Iwate Bank Red Brick Building 【Must-eat food】 1.

At Geibikei Gorge in Iwate, we experienced a river boat ride down the river. The lady who rowed the boat told us fun stories about the local history and nature, and it was very pleasant to move slowly along the way. With nature spreading out before us, the majestic scenery was soothing. With the sound of the river babbling and the birds singing, we were able to forget about our busy lives and relax. We had time to get off the boat and stroll through the valley, which was also great for getting up close and personal with nature. The river boat ride, where we could fully experience the charm of Geibikei Gorge, was an experience that both adults and children could enjoy. Geibikei Gorge is a place where you can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons, so be sure to visit at least once! #0yentravelNovember#Iwate

Geibikei Gorge (猊鼻渓) in Iwate Prefecture . Geibikei Gorge is one of the famous tourist attractions in Iwate Prefecture, Tohoku region of Japan. And it is one of the places that my sister recommends. This is a valley with limestone cliffs higher than 50 meters. On both sides of the road, there is a river flowing through the middle of the valley. In each season, this place has different beauty. You can visit all year round. . And the activity that must be done when coming here... is "taking a boat" to see the valley. Oh! It takes about 90 minutes for a round trip. During the boat trip, the boat captain will be the tour guide. At the return point, we can get on the boat to walk around the valley and see the "Lion's Nose" rock. And go "throw a stone to make a prediction". On the way back, we will listen to the folk song "Geibi Oiwake" that the boat captain sang to us. Oh!
