Fugan Suijo Line 富岩水上ライン
Enjoy a scenic cruise along the Fugan Canal
Travel along the Fugan Canal from Kansui Park to the port town of Iwase on a relaxing one-hour boat cruise. Enjoy the scenery and historical townscapes along the way, including seasonal sights such as spring cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. The Fugan Suijo Line also takes passengers through the Nakajima Lock, about halfway along the canal.
The Nakajima Lock was completed in 1934 and is a Panama Canal-style lock with two sets of gates to control the difference in water levels. As the lock fills with water, the boat rises to meet the next section of the canal. This "water elevator” lifts the boat around 2.5 meters and is a highlight of the cruise.
Cruises on the Fugan Suijo Line are especially popular in spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom along the canal. Fugan Canal is regarded as one of Toyama’s best spots for viewing the spring blossoms.
