Kumamoto Prefecture Kuma River Rafting! 3 plans to experience the torrent course of Japan's three major torrents

Interesting words in this article: Kumamoto Hitoyoshi / Kuma Rafting

Kumamoto The Kuma River is a first-class river that runs through the Hitoyoshi Basin in the southern part of the prefecture, reaches the Yatsushiro Plain, and flows into the Yatsushiro Sea (Shiranui Sea), along with tributaries such as the Kawabe River. In the main stream of the Kuma River system, Kumamoto It is the largest river in the prefecture. It is also one of the three major rapids in Japan, along with the Mogami and Fuji rivers. The activity "Kuma River rafting" that goes down such a rapid by a wooden boat has long been popular as a place where you can enjoy going down the river. The attraction of going down the Kuma River is the thrill of spraying water through the large and small Hayase called "Kuma River's Five Oses" such as "Takasose" while gazing at the beautiful nature. In addition, the appearance of passing through the upcoming huge rocks in the water with the skillful rudder of the boatman is impressive. We also recommend going down the river on a wooden boat, but here we are paying attention to "rafting" on the Kuma River just before the spring / summer 2019 season! Here are 3 recommended experience plans. If you are interested in SNS or want to try torrent rafting, please come visit us in the summer season of 2019.

What is the Kuma River?

Kuma River Kumamoto Outdoor sports "rafting" that uses the rapids that flow through Hitoyoshi City, which is located in the southern part of the prefecture, and flow into the Yashiro Sea (Shiranui Sea) is popular. Before introducing the recommended experience plan, let's check the location and access method of "Kuma River" in detail! First of all, as the location of the rafting spot, Kumamoto It will be Shimoharadamachi and Nakagamimachi in Hitoyoshi City. Access by car is about 15 minutes from the Hitoyoshi interchange via prefectural roads 54, 445, and 219, and the nearest station on the JR line is Watari Station on the Hisatsu Line. Since the number of trains is small, we recommend using a car or rental car. Besides rafting, I also want to enjoy hot springs! "Hanamaki Onsen" in the mountains where the rural scenery spreads is a high-quality carbonated spring, and if you take a bath after rafting, you will heal your tiredness. In addition to the hot springs, there are also rafting tourist spots such as "Hitoyoshi Castle Ruins / Castle Town" in Hitoyoshi City, "Eikokuji" which is also called a ghost temple, "Aoi Aso Shrine" designated as a national treasure, and "Kumasen-dong" in Kuma-mura, Kuma-gun. It is popular together with. Also, make sure to take a wide variety of souvenirs, such as "Kumashochu", which has become a global brand using high-quality rice from this area as a raw material!
