The boats and boarding areas are entirely non-smoking and fire-prohibited (fire and river-littering risk). Smoking only at designated areas of boarding piers or in front of Furukuchi Station.
How to find smoking areas near Mogami River Boat Tour
- Check designated smoking areas inside or in front of major stations first
