Enjoy the stunning beauty of the canyon

Enjoy a two-hour tour through the 31km Doro-kyo Gorge, on the Kumano-gawa River and Kitayama-gawa River in the Yoshino-Kumano National Park, on a jet boat traveling at 40 km/h. The roof of the boat slides open, allowing you to enjoy the sight of the rock cliffs towering on both sides. The boat stays in Doro-kyo Gorge for 20 minutes, so you can fully enjoy its beauty. ※Please note that the Water-jet Boat is no longer operational as of 1st January 2021.
