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.

Click below for more details and enjoy the summer with us!
