canal boating
One of Japan's three great canal districts, the waterside town of Omihachiman is truly a glimpse into historical Japan. The canal district of Omihachiman is often singled out for its unspoilt natural beauty. We take pride in our canal tour, where the rowboat slowly and leisurely takes you through the reed beds.
