Minakami Rafting Tours

Canyons rafting tours are only held in the Minakami area. The Spring Season brings world-class grade 4+ whitewater and high thrills, and Summer Season involves enjoying playing in and outside the boat on a melow grade 1-2 section. The two seasons are very different in terms of distance covered on the river and the type of experience, so pick your ideal thrill level.

Canyons limits the number of trips held each day. Even though the length and style of tour varies between seasons, Canyons aim to give you the most time to enjoy yourself and experience the real beauty of Japan's nature.

As you descend the mighty Tone River learn about the local history, customs and culture from our professional international guides. The history of the area dates back 35000 years, with the river playing an integral part in the formation of many of the great families of Japan, including the Tokugawa Clan and the creation of Edo(Tokyo).

So what's so special about rafting?

1. Learn about the area and experience the nature. From a raft you get a unique perspective and pass through areas that only a raft can access. The guides can tell you stories about the area and the significance of the river.

2. A natural roller coaster! Riding rapids is a rush, no better way to get the blood pumping.

3. Awesome with friends! Rafting is very much a team sports and sharing the adventure is a great teambuilding experience whether is be for partners, co-workers, friends or families.
