Tozawahan Funabansho

3.5

This river port is about five minutes on foot from JR Furukuchi Station. It serves sightseeing boats that ply the Mogami River towards Kawa-no-Eki Mogamikyo Kusanagi. The Mogami River Basho Line Descent lets visitors take in the scenery from the river while listening to the songs of the quirky boatmen. You can get a meal along with the boat ride if you reserve in advance, and passengers who come on their own are welcome. They offer a limited period cruise course, and the boat itself transforms with the seasons with bamboo shades replacing the roof in summer and heated low kotatsu tables installed for winter.

Review

タイムスリップしたようです

戸沢藩船番所は、入口が番所の作りになっていました。駐車場には、番所役人の格好をした方が、観光客が来ると歓迎してくれます。
江戸時代の風情あり

最寄りの駅は古口駅、そこから徒歩７-8分で最上川舟下りの入り口、「戸沢藩船番所」に到着します。ここを一歩足を踏み入れると現代から江戸時代にタイムスリップしたかのような風情が感じられる乗船場です。

船番所に別棟で芭蕉庵というそば屋さんができてました。季節限定の鮎の天ぷら付き蕎麦を食べました。鮎の天ぷらがとても美味しかった。
