Plan Details

●Whitewater rafting
This is a water sport where you get on a large rubber boat that can hold 8 people and paddle together to go down a course with whitewater.

On the Minakami rafting tour, one river guide will accompany each boat and will explain how to ride and paddle the rafting paddle before the start.
Minakami Town, upstream of the Tone River in Gunma Prefecture, is a world-famous rafting spot with whitewater, so much so that it is called Minakami rafting.
