Rafting
Break through the rapids! A Kuma River adventure
Take on the wild rapids of one of Japan's three great rapids together with your team! Kuma River rafting is truly nature's own roller coaster. At each rapid you encounter, you'll get splashed head-on with excitement building to its peak. The moment your boat bounces and you dig in your paddle is pure, non-stop thrill and excitement. Getting soaked and laughing your head off—it's a special moment where everyone, adults and kids alike, gets to be truly, wholeheartedly into it.
