All about Kusatsu Canyoning

Kusatsu Canyoning can be summed up in one word: 'Easy access to world-class canyons'.

Many people think of “slider” and “jump” when they think of canyoning, but in Europe, which is the home of canyoning, “rope” is the main focus. It feels like the rope is the main and there are sliders and jumps.

At "Dear Canyon" and "MEGA Deer Canyon", you can experience genuine rope-based canyoning.

It is rare even in Japan to find a course with so many consecutive waterfalls in just a 5-minute walk to the valley. The Deer course is a 10-minute walk from the goal point through the valley. The MEGA Deer Course takes you out of the valley in just 3 minutes. There are so many waterfalls in the valley that you can't even walk.

And the best part is that Canyons is the only company that offers tours for customers on this course.It means that there will be no traffic jams in the valley due to encounters with other companies.

The guide will give a detailed lecture on how to rappel and practice the basic techniques before entering the valley, so even beginners can experience rope descent like special forces. .

The largest waterfall descending with a rope is 30m. You can also rappel down three 10m waterfalls. There are four sliders in total, and there are many variations in length from 2m to 5m. The two jump points are 2m and 4m high, and people who are not good at jumping can use ropes to descend.
