Why you should get outside!

When many people think of canyoning, rafting and other adventure sports, they imagine heart-racing, fear-inducing, exciting activities! And while that can be true, an important part of every tour we do is taking a moment to appreciate the peace and beauty of the nature surrounding us.

Location Spotlight: Minakami

Welcome to our home base. Nestled in a tree-blanketed valley, surrounded by the towering mountains of Gunma Prefecture, Minakami is where it all started… We ran our first tours there, more than 2o years ago. It’s one of our favourite places to explore and adventure in Japan and it's the only place where we run our famous rafting trips down the Tone River! Featuring gorgeous canyons to explore and cool off in the heat of summer, amazing snow to play in during winter, exciting white water rapids during Spring! Minakami is an all-season adventure destination!

What does your "day off" look like?

Taking a day off right now might not seem like a priority in the midst of a global pandemic, but failing to take time off could actually have a negative effect not only to the company you work for but also on your physical and mental health.

Special Tours

If you have been following us on social media, you will have noticed that yesterday we started a mini-series of images showing some highlights from our SPECIAL canyoning tours this season. The images will be continuing over the next few days and showing some of the highlights from tours this month in Gunma, Niigata, Yamanashi, and even a tour that we run in a SECRET location. With that in mind, we thought it would be a good idea to ask Joe, one of our canyoning guides, to write a short piece about these tours, to let you know what makes them so SPECIAL! Read on to find out more...
