Rafting

Rafting in the Minakami region of Gunma is probably the most popular outdoor sports activity. The Tone-river is famous for its world class rapids ranging from a placid grade 2 in the middle of summer, up to a ranging grade 4 during the spring melt and typhoon seasons. A standard half day course covers over 12 kms of whitewater, including 3 main canyons; Suwa Canyon,Minakami Canyon and the most exciting Momiji Canyon.

Tours are arranged for all levels. From the nervous non-swimmers to the go-hard adrenaline junkies. Professional experienced guides from New Zealand,Australia and Japan will ensure an excitement packed day of adventure and relaxation.
