Golden Week is normally a great time to be in Minakami and out on the river but this year was even better than most. We've been blessed with temperatures more like July than May for the whole of the holiday period.
The river has been in good condition for a few weeks now but the higher temperatures have helped with the melt which have taken it up another notch. Momijikyo is the only Grade 4 section of river on the mainland and as a result is pretty well known. It was certainly living up to its reputation as a world class section this week.
Happy customers, high thrills, warm weather, bbqs and parties - all the things we love at Canyons. High water season will continue into June so plenty of time to get a taste for some of the best rafting in Japan.
