Autumn Lake Festa — Opening the tour boat deck on Urami River! — (October 11, 12, 13)

From Saturday, October 11 to Monday, October 13, 2025, we will hold the Autumn Lake Festa. We will begin operating the Mikata Five Lakes Nature Cruise, which opens the tour boat deck from Urami River. You can experience with all your senses scenery like a jungle, with sheer rock faces and dense primeval forest close at hand.

One of the highlights of the Mikata Five Lakes Nature Cruise is the Urami River, which links Kugushi Lake and Suigetsu Lake. This historic canal was artificially excavated about 360 years ago as flood control after an earthquake. The jungle-like sight of towering rock faces and lush primeval forest viewed from the tour boat deck is breathtaking.
