Minakami Half-day Rafting

*PLAN NAME 

Minakami Half-day Rafting               

*OUTLINE

We provide a spring tour and a summer tour. The spring tour is quite different from the summer one, because of the amount of water in each season, which makes the experience you will have pretty different. We recommend that you consider the ideal thrill level you want and choose between the two.

【April-June】

In the spring season, you can enjoy the world-famous white water created by the thawing of snow in the mountains, and get a big thrill. Minakami’s rapid steam is one of the greatest rapids in Japan.

【July-October】

In the summer season, the water level drops and you can enjoy a smooth stream, but the water is not so clear.
