What other travelers are saying about Nagatoro Valley (Iwadatami)
The town is quite small with only a few interesting souvenir shops. The river area is quite beautiful but for me the real gem was the maple tree park beside the river. Quite spectacular and colourful. Highly recommended. The boat ride down the river was nice but not excellent. There was some commentary along the way but, honestly, it's just a short section of an unspectacular river. I might recommended it to people who have never seen a river before.
A really beautiful place to have a stroll around. Trails are parallel to the river with many spots to sit and have a snack, take pictures and look at the beautiful river view.
Saitama is quite far, but definitely a unique experience! Its beauty and simplicity makes the place even better. It’s also a great place for adventure, as there are many different things to explore.
It is an unusual terrain with a series of huge rock formations. There are many people near the boat pier, but as you move away from that area, the number of people decreases. It is a very relaxing place rich in nature. The kids enjoyed their rocky adventure. We can find many tadpoles and frogs here. The view of the boats on the river is also beautiful. The boats are very popular and you may have to wait in line for quite a while to get tickets.
