After arriving, check-in at the fully air-conditioned facility. Get changed into a wetsuit provided by the staff member. Changing rooms along with bathrooms are available for use at this time. During the hotter summer months, you can take part in your bathing suit and T-shirt.
It takes about 5 minutes on foot from the shop. After reaching the rafting point, learn the basic paddling and maneuvering methods for safety purposes.
Hop on the boat and practice paddling on the shallow waters before jetting off into the deeper areas. Enjoy a fun ride through the rapids as your guide helps you navigate your way down the river.
With nearly 20 torrents along the way, try splashing through the refreshing waters as you enjoy the fun activity. Team up with your fellow riders as you conquer the waves!
After a thrilling ride, relax in the calmer waters as you swim around in the cool river. Participants will be wearing life jackets so non-swimmers can also enjoy floating about! For those looking for more fun, why not try jumping into the river from one of the cliffs?
Once you reach the end of the course, dry yourself a bit before making way to the JR station. Now that you've come down the river, make your way upstream on the train. (1 stop, approximately 5-minute train ride.) Make your way back to the shop on foot.
Once you're done changing out, relax with your fellow rafting mates and your guide with some memorable photos!
