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

#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

Nagatoro Rock Beds 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 If you go to Nagatoro, you should definitely see the rock beds. Both banks of the Arakawa River from the old Oyabanabashi Bridge to the old Takasagobashi Bridge are nationally designated natural monuments. As the name suggests, the rock beds, which are exposed over a width of 80m and a length of 500m, spread out like a tatami mat. 　　 Walking on these rock beds feels a bit like an athletic activity.
