Three popular rafting plans for Mukawa, one of Japan's top-class torrent spots in the Furano area of Hokkaido!

Mukawa in Hokkaido is a Class A river that boasts one of the clearest rivers in Japan. It is the main stream of the Mukawa river system, running north-south for 135km and pouring into the Pacific Ocean. In 2006, Hobetsu Town and Mukawa Town merged into Mukawa Town, where the Mukawa River flows, and became a new town. Located in the southern part of central Hokkaido, it is surrounded by the Hidaka Mountains on three sides, east, west, and north, and faces the Pacific Ocean to the south. Close to Sapporo City, Chitose City, and Tomakomai City, it is blessed with a diverse natural environment with the sea, mountains, rivers, and flatlands. Therefore, this time, with the summer season just around the corner, let's take a look at "rafting," an activity that you can enjoy using the melted snow and the rapids of the river in Mukawa! The best season for rafting is from the end of April to the middle of May, when the snow melts and the river rises. You can enjoy the "torrent" which is the real thrill of rafting. In addition, during the typhoon season and after rain, the water volume temporarily increases and the flow becomes violent, so it is a good target. We will introduce a recommended experience plan where you can experience the torrents and nature unique to Hokkaido! If you are interested in SNS or want to try torrent rafting, please come and visit us in the 2019 season.

Hokkaido rafting spot! Experience the rapids of the Sorachi River and Sea Sorapuchi River! Introducing 3 popular experience tour plans!

It's been a long time, and April is almost over again this year, and we're about to enter the golden week. In the Kanto region, the cherry blossom season has passed, and the warmth of the sun is starting to stand out. However, in the Japanese archipelago, there is still time to reach the peak of cherry blossom viewing. It's Hokkaido. Cherry blossom forecasts have been announced just before the 10-day weekend, with April 26th in Hakodate and April 28th in Sapporo. The northern land, which turns pink during Golden Week, seems to be more popular than ever. Furano city is recommended in Hokkaido from April to May. When most people think of Furano, the first thing that comes to mind is the TV drama "Kita no Kuni Kara". There must be many people who yearn to live quietly in an environment rich in nature. Furano, where you can enjoy beautiful scenery that is comparable to the world of dramas, has a valuable scene that can only be seen from the end of April to the end of May. This is because the cherry blossoms and lavender fields reach their peak at the same time. There are many flower lands and lavender gardens that are Instagrammable, and you can see magnificent rural landscapes and beautiful flower gardens. The hidden observatory and ropeway where you can see them at the same time are also popular, so it is a sightseeing spot where you can take pictures. Therefore, this time, we will introduce a carefully selected plan of river activity "rafting" that integrates with the nature of Furano City and allows you to enjoy sightseeing 120%!

[Kozushima Diving Tour] Introducing recommended plans from experience diving for inexperienced and beginners to fun diving for license holders!

Kozushima is the westernmost inhabited island of the Izu Islands. Characterized by crystal clear waters and mystical landscapes, it has charm on both land and sea. The island is shaped like a gourd, with Mt. Tenjo (572m) in the north and Mt. Chichibu in the south. Mt. Tenjo is a symbol of Kozushima, and is a lava dome formed by a large-scale eruption in the past. At the top of the mountain, there are sandy areas called "front desert" and "back desert", and rare alpine plants can be seen. In this way, Kozushima is an island where you can enjoy not only sea activities, but also land exploration such as hiking. However, the biggest feature is the beautiful sea, which has been selected as the clearest in Japan. It is said to be the "Izu Seven Islands No. 1" because of the abundance of fish shadows, so if you go diving, you may be able to meet schools of sea turtles, greater amberjacks, and long-tailed bream. Due to its easy access from Tokyo, it is a popular diving spot frequented by many divers living in the Kanto region. Also, one of the factors that increase the popularity is that you can enjoy the only night dive in the Izu Islands on the topography of white sand. In addition, there are many diving points that attract divers, such as dynamic reefs and cave diving. In Kozushima, we have carefully selected diving tours that even beginners can easily experience, as well as fun diving plans that even licensed C card holders can enjoy.
