High Water, High Thrills

It's Spring here which means high water season on the river and conditions are awesome right now.

We're sending two trips out every day from today and with Canyoning tours starting from 29th April, it's almost business as usual here.

It's lunchtime right now and I can smell BBQ - you've got to love Green Season.

Tenjin Park

The park at Tenjin is at its Spring best. A good range of features from beginner to advanced with 5 jumps, 7 different rails and boxes and all a quick lap from the middle chair.

It makes for good viewing as well, as all features are visible from the main lift. Of course, this means both your hits (and big) misses are laid out for all to admire (as we often were), but it's all part of the learning process.

Tenjin should go through to the end of Golden Week and the snow is staying in good condition up there at the moment so plenty more days in the park to come.

Momiji Course Check

Rafting season kicks off a week tomorrow and as the water levels have been rising recently everyone was really keen to have a pre-season run. This is mainly to check the conditions and to make sure that no unexpected debris has appeared over the winter. Still leaves plenty of time to mess about and have a bit of fun.

The river is at its best at this time of year with the snow melt flooding the river and making the rapids all the more exciting.

High water season goes into May (and sometimes early June if the conditions are right) so if you are planning a spring trip this is the very best time of year to be rafting.
