Plan Details

●Canyoning Safety
Canyoning tours are conducted by a professional guide who checks the weather and the site in advance, but they are not necessarily safe. A professional guide will always accompany you, but since you are dealing with nature, there is a risk of river flooding or flash flooding due to weather.
Also, canyoning is a sport that is done alone, and since it is a tour in nature, it includes risks. Please participate only after fully understanding and consenting.

●Canyoning Guide
Instructors include guides from other countries, so please understand the explanations well. There are also language differences, so if you do not understand something, be sure to ask again before participating.
We recommend that customers who participate in the tour take out accident insurance and sports insurance in advance.
(Injury insurance is available on site)
◎To ensure a safe and enjoyable tour, please participate with the support of a tour guide.

●Canyoning Safety Standards
Canyoning tours are conducted by the Outdoor Federation, a general incorporated association, in Minakami Town. A canyoning association has been established within this organization,
which improves skills, familiarizes participants with safety issues, and sets standards for guides.
In addition, the town has strict outdoor regulations, and tours are run after clearing these.

●A request to customers
Canyoning tours are not always safe.
As they are conducted in nature, there are places where it is difficult to walk, such as mountain paths and riverbeds, and you may fall.
There are also other places where you should not go. Please be sure to follow the instructions of your guide.
We ask that customers who participate understand that this is a dangerous sport.

Important Notes

■FOX Canyoning

◆Request to Guests
Outdoor tours are sports that involve nature, so they are not always necessarily safe.
Because they are conducted in the wild, they involve some risk.
Please make sure you fully understand the terms and conditions before booking.
◆Guide Standards
Minakami Town's outdoor tours are governed by the Outdoor Tourism Ordinance, which sets regulations and standards. The Outdoor Federation, a general incorporated association, has also been established, which sets even stricter standards and regulations.
Our guides meet these standards, and all outdoor tours are accompanied by Rescue 3 and Medical First Aid certified guides, so you can participate with peace of mind.
◆Insurance Details
All tours include facility attendant liability insurance (one person per accident, coverage up to 300 million yen).
Injuries resulting from personal actions are not covered, so we recommend purchasing personal injury insurance.
If you have not purchased insurance in advance, you can purchase it on the day of the tour at our company on a non-refundable basis.
◆Notes
・Pregnant women, those who are unwell, those who have consumed alcohol on the day of the tour, or those with a hangover will be refused entry on the day of the tour.
・The tour will proceed even in the rain.
