What is rafting?

river rafting japan

Rafting is a super popular water sport. Eight people in a rubber boat paddle down Whitewater rapids, combining all their spirits and strength together as a team.

Everyone in the raft enjoys the beautiful sounds of nature such as the singing of the birds and the murmuring of the river with a totally relaxed feeling while letting the boat flow by itself, gently down the stream!

The Yoshino River on the island of Shikoku Island runs through the Oboke and Koboke ravines, created in the last 200 million years, provides exciting rafting in world class rapids.

Oboke Canyon has 5 kilometers of gigantic, weird shaped rocks. Downstream Koboke Canyon seems rather gentle, but actually is very winding with a rapid water flow.

A half-day course of Oboke is recommended for beginners or for those not having enough time for a full-day course.
