FOREST & WATER NATURE GUIDES ARE SPECIALISTS WHEN IT COMES TO OUTDOOR
SPORTS
What is rafting?
Rafting is a hugely popular water sport. Eight people paddle down whitewater
rapids in a rubber boat, combining all their spirit and strength together as
a team.
Everyone in the raft enjoys the beautiful sounds of nature, the singing of
the birds, the murmuring of the river, totally relaxed while the boat flows
by itself, gently down the river!
Rafting Tours
Forest & Water provides Half-Day Rafting Tours, Full-Day Rafting Tours,
and many other tours with a variety of choices related to the sport of river
exploration.
Please contact us for further information.
TONE RIVER (Minakami Onsen, Gunma Pref.)
| The Tone River in Gunma Prefecture is the largest river in Japan, with
gorgeous natural ravines up stream, wide-open scenery downstream, and
a variety of changing scenery during the 4 seasons.
From early April to June, during the spring melt from Minakami's surrounding
Tanigawa Mountain Range, you can enjoy dynamic rafting with the river
flowing at its fullest.
We have many fun tours that families can enjoy, which are available from July
when the water is not as fast. You can also enjoy canyoning and canoeing
with one of our Double Adventure Packages.

YOSHINO RIVER (Kochi Pref. in Shikoku Island)
|
The Yoshino River on the island of Shikoku runs through two ancient 200 million
year old ravines, Oboke and Koboke, and provides exciting rafting through
world class rapids.
Oboke Canyon has 5 kilometers of gigantic, strangely shaped rocks. Downstream
Koboke Canyon seems rather gentle, but actually has many bends with swiftly
flowing water and rapids.
A Half-Day Tour at Oboke is recommended for beginners or for those not having
enough time or energy for a Full-Day Tour.
Our Full-Day Tour through Koboke Canyon will give you a compeltely satisfying
rafting experience on the Yoshino River.
