Plan description

A kayaking instructor from the Japan Recreational Canoe Association (JRCA) will guide you. Kayaking is an activity where you get on a small boat and paddle alternately left and right with a double-bladed paddle with blades on both sides to move forward on the water surface. Take a mini tour of the beautiful, clear Yoshino River in a full-fledged river kayak. It's a little difficult until you get used to it, but once you do, it's twice as fun. There are lessons on how to get on and off the kayak, how to paddle, posture, control, and what to do if you capsize, so even beginners can participate with confidence. The mini touring course is a section of about 1.5 km with a gentle current without waves. Once you get used to kayaking, you can take a walk on your own, or if you want to learn more, you can continue to learn. You can flow with the flow of the river, look at the scenery and be healed, or paddle yourself and explore the shore to look for creatures. There are endless ways to enjoy it ♪ If you request it, you can swim in the river or jump off the rocks. *We do not go down the rapids (where there are waves). *Please contact us if you weigh over 80kg. Depending on your weight, you may be in an inflatable kayak. *Height limit: 120cm or more (any age) Recommended for those who: 1: Are new to outdoor activities but want to try the classic outdoor activities! 2: Want to try something a little more serious! 3: Want to enjoy at an affordable price! Tour flow: Meet at base (09:45/10:45/13:30) Reception, insurance, change of clothes Departure Safety explanation, rowing practice Start of mini touring End of mini touring Change of clothes Flow Disband (~11:45/~12:45/~15:30) *Tour time may vary depending on water level, weather, wind direction, and customer's physical strength. *Photos taken during the tour can be viewed in a slideshow after the tour. Photos are downloadable, so please purchase the QR code at the reception on the day. Comments from staff: Recommended for those who want to try a little more serious activities. It is more difficult than packrafting, but that's also what makes it interesting. Although it is a section with a gentle current, paddling down the Yoshino River yourself will give you a sense of accomplishment!

This is a course with a gentle current so that even beginners can try it.

It's okay if you don't know anything! We start with basic lessons on how to ride, how to row, and posture. We tour on gentle currents without waves, so it's recommended for those who want to float on the water leisurely. We don't go down the rapids (sections with waves).

Try out this classic water sport!

River kayaking is the king of water sports. It can be difficult to get used to, but once you get used to the controls, it's twice as fun. Because you paddle yourself, you get a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment!

We'll be taking photos! You can bring your own camera!

A staff member will accompany you with a camera. Take photos of everyone having fun and take commemorative photos! They will become great memories of your trip. If you bring a camera, please be careful not to lose it or damage it.

Selling points regarding safety

◆We have been holding tours on the Yoshino River in Shikoku since 1999, and in 2024 we celebrated our 25th anniversary. Many customers have participated in our tours so far without any accidents or serious injuries. ◆For safety management, we always hold tours with multiple guides. We set tour operation regulations and hold tours only when we can provide a safe experience. If bad weather is expected, the guide will inspect the local conditions and hold the tour only if it is deemed safe. ◆The guide will carry equipment and tools (emergency kit, first aid, rope, carabiners, etc.) to provide a safe tour. ◆We order foreign-made rapids rafting equipment so that participants can enjoy the tour more comfortably, and strive to manage safety. We regularly replace helmets, life jackets, wetsuits, etc., and have a wide range of sizes from children to adults. ◆All guides must obtain river guide qualifications certified by the Rafting Association of Japan (RAJ). New guides will make their debut after obtaining guide qualifications and passing the river guide test set by our company. Senior guides who have gained training and experience will accompany the tour.
