Natural Groove plans rafting and SUP in Mishima, an island in the Shimanto River surrounded by nature. Based in the midstream of the Shimanto River, there are rapids and gentle currents scattered throughout the area, and we can offer courses that can be enjoyed by beginners, families, and advanced riders alike. Spending time relaxing in nature will help you feel one with nature and refresh yourself. Come experience the nature of the Shimanto River and create unforgettable memories together. Natural Groove is located on the grounds of Mishima Campsite and is affiliated with the campsite. Tour participants can use these facilities. The campsite will reopen in the spring of 2024, with new facilities and a more comfortable stay.
