Feel the exhilaration, thrill, and deep bond in Saitama Nagatoro rafting down the torrent!

Speaking of leisure that is popular in the summer season, of course, playing in the water, which you can enjoy in the sea or river, is naturally attracting attention. Trends are changing rapidly these days, but the types of water sports called "standard" and "royal road" have always been popular. There are many types and tastes such as surfing, diving, kayaking, canoeing, jets and wakeboarding. One of the "royal roads" is a very popular sport called "rafting" where multiple people can enjoy the thrill at the same time while riding a boat and cooperating. Let me introduce a plan that you can experience this "rafting" in Chichibu, Saitama.

Chichibu is a popular tourist destination for Seibu Railway's commercial "Chichibu Chichibu". It is popular as a place for pilgrimage to sacred places because it has become the stage for works such as dramas, movies, and anime. In addition, the number of tourists is increasing year by year due to the fact that there is the most powerful power spot in the Kanto area and the influence of the SL of Chichibu Railway has increased the exposure to the media. It is easily accessible for day trips from Tokyo and you can worship the magnificent nature, so it is supported by many outdoor enthusiasts.

Nagatoro Town, located in Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture, is known for its rapids of the Nagatoro River, museums displaying dinosaur bones, and many parks with beautiful scenery that changes with the seasons. There is a shop "Grandex Nagatoro Base" in this town that offers tours to enjoy water sports. This shop deals with river activities centered on "rafting" and "SUP". We offer courses with different levels of difficulty so that it can be used widely from beginners to experienced people, and the guide will explain safety measures carefully, so let's participate with confidence even for the first time playing in the river. This time, let me tell you about the attractive information about "rafting".

"Rafting" is a sport in which everyone rides on a large rubber boat and joins forces to make a rapid torrent. You can also see typical sightseeing spots in Nagatoro sightseeing during rafting, such as the nationally designated natural monument "Iwadatami". While fully feeling the nature of the Nagatoro River, you can fully enjoy the thrill of being called a natural roller coaster in the upper reaches of the Arakawa River. When the flow is calm, everyone is happy and happy. Work together for thrills and excitement during times of intense currents and difficult courses. The feature is that you can enjoy these two at the same time, so if everyone cooperates and makes a rapid descent, the bond will deepen and the fun will be doubled.

Of course, even beginners will be taught in an easy-to-understand manner so that they can participate safely and enjoyably, and equipment can be rented for free so that they can easily participate. You can also rent shoes for an additional fee (500 yen), so you don't have to worry about your shoes getting wet. Feel free to try it empty-handed, with friends, family, and couples.

Even after rafting is over, fun awaits. You can see a slide show of the photos taken while taking a break on the wooden deck, and there is an option plan for barbecue. There is a facility where you can have a barbecue within a 1-minute walk. There is also a plan where everyone can enjoy BBQ after rafting, so if you wish, check out the "BBQ Pack". By the way, some people may think, "I came here with a large number of people, so I want to enjoy camping!" Don't worry about such people. There is also a campsite near the shop, so everyone can stay overnight.
