Golden Week is here...


Blue skies, warm temperatures, the cherry blossoms are out, the BBQs are set up and the river is inviting. Cold drinks on the deck after the tour and lots of people to hang out with. It's all set to be a great week in Minakami.

Golden Week Specials

Golden Week starts at the end of the week. The weather is getting warm, the cherry blossoms will soon be out and the mountains are starting to turn green again. You probably don't need much encouragement to leave the concrete jungle and get back to nature, but just to get you in the holiday spirit we have some Golden Week Specials for you valid anytime from April 28th to May 6th. One night in the lodge with a choice of activities.


Lodge + breakfast + half day canyoning
or                                                                   = 9,800JPY per person
Lodge + breakfast + half day rafting




Lodge + breakfast + full day rafting
or                                                                    = 15,800JPY per person
Lodge + breakfast + canyoning/rafting combo

There're some hefty savings in there so head out to the mountains and have some fun this Golden Week.

Spring Rafting Starts April 21st

The river season is about to get underway again in Minakami. The start of the season sees the river at its best with high water levels meaning serious whitewater and extra thrills.

We're celebrating the start of spring with a special opening day offer. On Saturday April 21st our half day rafting tour is just 5,000JPY and we'll throw in a hog roast BBQ too. Come and take the plunge.


Spring high water season opens up a huge stretch of the Tone River. While the water level remains high it is possible to run a massive 25kms course on the Full Day Rafting Tour with loads of thrills and spills along the way. This trip is only available until June 3rd  so if you want to experience this awesome adventure now's the time.

Canyoning kicks off Saturday April 28th.
