Frequently Asked Questions
● How can we make a reservation for the Takachiho Gorge boat?
Please note that bookings must be made online starting two weeks prior to your visit.
Reservations cannot be made by phone, and same-day tickets are not available at the gorge.
Online bookings open at 9:00 AM JST, exactly two weeks before the visit date.
Due to high demand, slots fill up very quickly; it may be difficult to secure your preferred time
if you do not book immediately after the window opens. Furthermore, while the booking
process starts in English, some steps may switch to Japanese only, which can be challenging
for international visitors.
However, please rest assured. We can take care of the entire reservation process on your
behalf. Simply provide us with the number of people and your preferred date and time, and
we will handle everything, including the payment process, for you.
