minakami rafting
In spring (May- June) the mighty Tone River is in full flow, providing over 12kms of grade 4 white water on the half day course and 25kms+ on the full day course. At this time of the year, Minakami has Japans best whitewater rafting. You can also enjoy majestic scenery with the cherry trees in full bloom and snow capped mountains in the background.
In the summer the river flows drop to a more placid grade 2, which is perfect for first time rafters or those that want a more gentle nature experience. If you are up for more thrills in the summer season we recommend trying the minakami canyoning in Minakami.
