- Geibikei is a scenic river gorge in the northern prefecture of Iwate where people can take flat-bottom boats piloted by singing boatmen. The boatmen guide the boats along with poles much with the gondaliers of Venice.
I was back up in Iwate again for festivals (in case you can't tell I have a thing for festivals). One of them was rescheduled later on the weekend so I had to extend my trip.
With my extra time, I decided to go to Geibikei, a place I visited on a whim 3 years ago with my folks when we were touring the Tohoku area.
It costs about 1500Yen for a 90-minute trip there and back. At the half-way point, you can walk around a bit. On the way back, the boatmen sings traditional songs.
Got to remember to visit Geibiki too when I am in Japan again...hopefully longer then 3 weeks.
It looks gorgeous.
fantastic video... i'm really liking this one.
yeah you need a bit of time to go up north to places like Geibikei. I plan to dig up my old photos from my first trip and post them to my blog and maybe do a photo montage here.
I went to exact place and the same men were still singing while sailing the boat, a really nice place though I couldn't see any fishes in the river it was end of february and still really winter cold...
good vid ronin l, beautiful place , and great first shot .lol
This is really good quality. More people should watch this video.

sorry to comment twice guys but i forgot to say, nice throw!
when i was in Army basic training, I got an expert medal in throwing grenades. Couldn't shoot worth shit though.
@MissAfcjp yeah, it's a nice little boat ride and you can enjoy a meal and a beer while you sail along
