Getting to Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium

  • By Public Transport

・It is very difficult to get to Naruko Gorge. If you are taking public transport, get of at Naruko Onsen Station (鳴子温泉駅) on the Riku Tosen line (陸羽東線) but will be a 70 minute walk to the gorge. As it is not really accessible via public transport, we recommend that you take a car instead. Note that the rest house and the observatory deck is closed during winter time so we recommend that you avoid this period. (Fall would be the best season to visit)
