Nagatoro


Arakawa River in Nagatoro

While we were on our way to Chichibu, we saw this very scenic river with several small boats cruising along. By then, we decided to go to this famous river in Kami-Nagatoro. After getting off it took us around 5 minutes to reach the riverbanks. Countless people enjoy the spring-warm water in the riverside. Moreover, there were several curious people who also got off at Kami-Nagatoro and tried immersing their feet in the waters of this gushing river. From the base of the river, the railroad bridge can be seen. While taking random pictures, the famous black SL Steam-Engine Locomotive of the Chichibu Railways passed by and we were lucky to have taken a picture of it. Steam-Engine trains in Japan are slowly making a comeback to boost local tourism especially in deep provinces. Afterwhich, numerous boats with two men manually ferrying it cruised our area. Nearby the bank are three men were practicing they kayaking skills against the rapid gush of streaming water among the rocks of the river. Apparently, this river is not only famous for white-water rafting and boat cruise but also for kayak and canoe enthusiasts.
