Kansui(Max. 55 people)

Fugan Canal Kansui Park

This canal cruise takes you from the urban oasis of Fugan Canal Kansui
Park, through the nationally-recognized Important Cultural Property
Nakajima Lock, and down to Iwase, a port town with a rich history of trading
ships. At the Nakajima Lock, the powerful “water elevator” transports theboat 2.5 meters in height, in the same style as the Panama Canal!
Experience something offered only in a few places within Japan!

In 1934, the Nakajima Lock was built in the central section of the Fugan
Canal in order to adjust for the 2.5-meter difference between its upper andlower sections. This facilitated the transportation of building materials byboat, leading to the formation of industrial zones along the canal, and also
contributing to reconstruction after the war.
