EXPERIENCE

Tsuruga Castle Japanese Boat Experience

Special Japanese Boat Rides with Historical Commentary at Tsuruga Castle’s Moat
Traditional Japanese-style boats, usually used for the "Mugen Gorge Ferry" in Kaneyama Town, will be specially operated at the Gokencho Moat of Tsuruga Castle, accompanied by historical commentary.
Ride a Japanese boat rowed by a boatman and enjoy a relaxing 30–40 minute cruise around the inner moat of Tsuruga Castle, while listening to informative explanations from volunteer guides.
Perfect for couples, families with children, or anyone wanting to experience a traditional boat ride—solo visitors are also warmly welcome!
