Enjoy a half-day pack rafting trip in Minakami, Japan.
Experience the wonderful current of the Tonegawa river.
Perfect for beginners with no prior rafting experience.

Description

On this half-day pack rafting trip, I would like to guide you along the beautiful water of the Tonegawa river, also known as the Tone river. Located in Minakami, in the Gunma prefecture of Japan, the river will provide you with sensational views.

This trip will begin at 8:30 am, where we will meet at the Boukengoya guesthouse, and end at 12:30 pm. During those 4 hours, you will get to enjoy the wonderful water of the Tonegawa river. And because this trip is geared for beginners, you will enjoy the much more manageable parts of the river.

The scenery you will get to gaze at during this half-day trip is wonderful. The town of Minakami is a lovely place, and while it is small, with a population less than 20,000 people, it is nonetheless full of great highlights. And along the Tone river, you will get to admire much of those highlights, while enjoying the thrill of floating along the current.

This trip operates in small groups, only 3 people per guide. As a result, you will get close access to somebody who knows the area well, and can direct you accordingly. Also, in order to participate on this trip, no experience is necessary. All you need is a lot of enthusiasm!

If you would like to enjoy this half-day pack rafting trip on the Tonegawa river in Minakami, just send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.

Mountain Guide

I am a JMGA mountain guide based in Minakami in Gumma prefecture in Japan, home to Mount Tanigawa in the Tanigawa Mountain Range. It is one of the top 100 famous mountains in Japan and is my favourite mountain full of potentials in rock climbing, mountaineering, backcountry skiing and trekking. I also run a lodging service there for the convenience of clients, which I started in response to the requests by my clients in 2011.

My specialty ranges from climbing / mountaineering, trekking (hiking and snow shoeing), Sawanobori (climbing up through waterfalls), backcountry skiing / ski touring, pack rafting and canyoning.

Having been a member of Exploration Club whilst at University in Kyoto, my first guiding certification was in river rafting, where my passion lay at the time, and my main guiding activities now are mostly in the mountains.
With “explore deeper and have fun” as mottos, I put together outdoor adventure itineraries for each season of the year, so that more people can feel and enjoy the power and kindness of the nature.

I would love to share the unique, beautiful and exploratory experience you can get in Minakami with you, let it be in the mountains or in the waters!

I have the following certificates: JMGA Climbing Guide Stage Level 2, Oze Nature Guide, Oze Climbing Guide and WMA Wilderness First Responder.

When I'm unavailable to guide, my trusted colleagues with JMGA certifications will be able to guide you!
