Nagatoro, Mountain resort town in Chichibu district, Japan
The Nagatoro Valley spans 6 kilometers along the Arakawa River, featuring rock formations shaped by geological processes over millions of years.
The town gained status as an official municipality in 1889, developing into a tourism destination due to its natural landscapes and river activities.
The Funadama Festival occurs annually on August 15, commemorating water safety with lantern-lit boats sailing on the Arakawa River and firework displays.
River boating tours accommodate 200,000 visitors yearly, offering guided experiences through rapids and calm waters of the Arakawa River.
The Iwadatami formation presents 500 meters of layered rocks along the riverbank, resembling carefully arranged traditional Japanese floor mats.
