Canyoning in Kinugawa

by

Slide on natural water sliders, swim in clear streams and jump into big natural pools as you make your way to the goal. Let’s get wild!

Canyoning is an activity in which we go down a valley with flow of river while enjoying nature. You can slide on natural water sliders that the power of water creates, slide and jump into big natural pools, swim, use techniques such as shower climbing, and taste a sense of thrill and unity with nature.

NAOC is the pioneer to introduce a canyoning tour to Tochigi prefecture! And we can enjoy this adventure twice a day, at 9am and 1pm.
The activity requires about 3 hours, and you can join it anyday from June to October.
There are different courses, even a special one for elementary school kids, and a super fun one for Families with kids 5 years old and up, which is held from mid-July to late August.

Gouhanshiki, the Ceremony of Rice Eating

by

So let’s talk about another interesting ceremony for you to enjoy, if you are in Nikko area in April.
In this ceremony, called Gouhanshiki (or Rice Eating) people are forced to eat a large amount of rice. By doing that, it is believed that the blessing of Buddha will immediately eradicate the Seven Major Misfortunes such as fire, floods, devils, etc., and the people will receive the Seven Major Fortunes.
It is said that even feudal lords such as the Tokugawa Shogun Families and other famous feudal lords across Japan joined this ceremony in the Edo period.

When? April 2nd, 2020

Fun day with friends from all over the world

Mexico, Germany, Peru… we had a great Saturday discovering Nikko! We started the day enjoying Oku-Nikko and its amazing scenery. Yumoto Onsen, Lake Chuzenji, Kegon Falls and so much more.
After a delicious soba lunch, we started our afternoon adventure: cycling all the way to Kanmangafuchi abyss, and then completed the day with a walk around the World Heritage area, with plenty of time to visit the Shrines and Temples.
Won’t you join us next time?
