松川遊覧船乗降場, Riverboat landing at Matsukawa River in Toyama, Japan
The Matsukawa River cruise landing is a dock on the Matsukawa River in Toyama where traditional wooden boats depart for sightseeing journeys. The route passes through central Toyama with around 520 cherry trees framing both riverbanks, creating seasonal views that change throughout the year.
The Matsukawa River is the remnant of a meandering waterway that was redirected during 1930s infrastructure development projects in the region. This engineering change shaped the modern river landscape where the cruises now operate.
The landing area features an exhibition dedicated to Japanese composer Rentaro Taki, with documents and displays about his renowned composition "Moon Over the Ruined Castle." The space connects the river to local musical heritage and artistic traditions.
The cruises operate on a wooden boat that offers varying visibility and comfort depending on the season, with spring and autumn being generally calmer periods. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended as boarding and exiting the boat requires steady footing.
During the cruise, passengers can feed fish at specific moments, creating an interactive encounter with the river environment beneath the cherry tree canopy. This activity is offered only during certain phases of the journey and connects visitors directly to the waterway's ecosystem.
