Plan Details

●Safety explanation for the water canyoning course
・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 the 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 advance take out accident insurance and sports insurance.
(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 was established within the organization,
which improves skills, familiarizes participants with safety, and sets standards for guides.
In addition, the town has strict outdoor regulations, and tours are held after clearing these.
In addition, since the grade of each course is different, we conduct training to further strengthen safety.
Canyoning tours are a sport conducted in nature, so safety is taken into consideration when conducting the tours.

●Request to customers
Canyoning tours are not always safe.
Because it is 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 sport that involves risks.
