Rafting is usually associated with summer, but you can also enjoy this exciting activity during winter!

Winter rafting offers a completely different atmosphere from summer. Enjoy the peaceful river, beautiful winter scenery and the fresh winter air while rafting down the river with your friends and family.
We select relatively calm sections of the river during winter, so you will generally experience less splashing than during summer rafting.
An experienced river guide will accompany each tour and explain the safety rules and basic paddling techniques before departure, making this activity suitable even for first-time rafters.

Experience rafting in a completely different way this winter!
Winter rafting is recommended for families, couples, friends and groups looking for a unique outdoor adventure in Japan.
