Surrounded by a fantastic mist, a boat glides along the Tadami River, which flows between the cities of Kaneyama and Mishima in Fukushima Prefecture. A boat trip on the river, called Mugenkyo no Watashi, gives tourists the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful views of the otherworldly mist and natural landscapes.
The three wooden boats used for the tour were originally used in a local village on the river that was abandoned 60 years ago due to a major landslide. The boats were restored in 2010 by local residents to boost tourism in the area. The number of tourists visiting the site, including foreigners, has increased in recent years as they seek a time-travel-like experience.
The boat trip runs until the end of November. Advance booking is required and must be made at least five days in advance.
