The new date will be from April 3 (Friday) to April 7 (Tuesday), from 18:30 to 21.

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.

Solsticio de Invierno – Baño Yuzu-yu

by

En Japón, existe una costumbre tradicional que consiste en tomar un baño Yuzu-yu el día del solsticio de invierno. Es por este motivo que el 21 y 22 de diciembre muchos de los Sento (baños públicos) y Onsen (aguas termales) de Kinugawa y Kawaji ofrecerán este especial baño en oración por una buena salud en el futuro.

El Yuzu es una fruta cítrica japonesa parecida al limón, cuya cáscara o jugo generalmente se agregan a los alimentos para potenciar sabor. Para el baño Yuzu-yu, las frutas yuzu se colocan flotando en las bañeras, y además de ser una costumbre tradicional también se dice que el aceite aromático del yuzu ayuda a mantener la piel suave. Así que ya sabes, no te pierdas esta experiencia única!

Cuándo? 21 y 22 de diciembre de 2019 (los horarios varían según el establecimiento)
Dónde? Kinugawa y Kawaji-Onsen
