Canyoning
What is Canyoning?
Negotiate your way down steep canyons by abseiling and jumping waterfalls and cliffs, cascading down natural chutes and waterslides and swimming through crystal clear pools. 80% of the time is spent in the water.
Canyons Canyoning Tours
The gear we use is world class, specifically designed for canyoning and our guides are all internationally qualified professionals. Canyoning is not just our job its our passion. Come and share an adventure with us!
The goal of our tours is to refresh. We define this as:
- Excitement
- Growth (learning new things, overcoming challenges)
- Connections (with nature, other people, other cultures, yourself)
So to ensure a refrshing experience we have created a wide variety of courses so that you can pick the course that best suits the thrill and physical level of your group. Half day and full day tours, special tours, all available in a variety of locations around Japan.

Okutama
Mononoke Canyon Tours suspended
From April 17th until end of May
Due to work on the access road that we use to get to Mononoke Canyon we are no longer able to use this canyon for tours.
Okutama course always stands out. Water and greenery are the key features that most people recall of their experience. The scenery is amazing and tranquil - the Canyoning adventure is anything but - sliders, jumps and some awesome roped descents. Okutama is a great showpiece for the sport.
