[2025 Nagatoro Attraction] Travel Guide for Nagatoro Iwadatami (Updated Apr)

#wecreate #japan #saitama This is nagatoro Iwadatani located in Nagatoro, Saitama prefecture. It is only a few minutes walk away from Nagatoro station. It makes a perfect day trip from Tokyo, takes about 2 hours from Tokyo station. I was lucky enough to have a Japanese friend to help me book a special Charcoal operated train to nagatoro. That was another experience. The Iwadani are layered rocks that represent Nagatoro in Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture. The currents of the Arakawa River eroded crystalline schists in the area, creating a fault valley and rock terraces. It’s a really beautiful place to visit

#cherryblossom25 Nagatoro is for those who want adventure and blossoms. This little mountain town is famous for its river cruises, and I timed mine just right — floating past sakura-lined cliffs while the boatman guided us with a long bamboo pole. It was like something out of a Ghibli movie. The blossoms here aren’t just by the river — they spill through the town and up into the hills, with spots like Mt. Hodo offering panoramic sakura views if you take the ropeway. I did the hike back down and walked through petal-covered trails with barely another traveler in sight. The town itself is super charming too, with old-school sweets shops, sake tastings, and friendly locals. My #cherryblossom25 post from the riverboat got a lot of love — because it’s not just pretty, it’s cinematic. If you want a full-day experience with layers, Nagatoro delivers.

Both banks of the Arakawa River from the old Oyabanabashi Bridge to the old Takasagobashi Bridge are nationally designated natural monuments.
