Plan description

The Shimanto River has a deep river valley created by meandering rivers over many years, and the scenery remains untouched with few man-made objects. This tour is perfect for those who want to enjoy the Shimanto River at a leisurely pace. You can enjoy a rafting-like river ride down the rapids, and enjoy diving and other activities according to the river conditions. There is also plenty of time for SUP (stand-up paddleboarding), where you can enjoy the Shimanto scenery. For lunch, enjoy a handmade bento packed with local ingredients on the riverbank. There is also a snack time where you can enjoy freshly brewed coffee, tea, and local snacks, allowing you to forget about the busyness of everyday life and surrender yourself to nature.

A relaxing plan that allows you to enjoy river SUP (stand-up paddle board) to your heart's content in addition to rafting.

Of course, rafting is included! If you want to try SUP, diving, playing in the river, and have fun until you're full, this is the one-day tour for you!

Includes a lunch box to eat on the riverbank!

An outdoor lunch packed with local ingredients is included, enjoyed on the riverbank! Enjoying local snacks and freshly brewed coffee or tea is also part of the fun.

Experience the natural charm of the Shimanto River in depth

The middle reaches of the Shimanto River have few man-made structures and the scenery remains untouched. In addition to playing in the river, you can take your time enjoying the beautiful scenery while being rocked on a boat.

Dress code - Must bring items	<Spring/Autumn (April-June/September-November)> Wear a wetsuit and jacket over your swimsuit. On particularly cold or windy days, we will provide a windproof jacket over the wetsuit. <Summer (mid-July-early September)> You can participate in the activity in swimsuit. To prevent scratches from twigs and rocks in the riverbed or river, and to protect against UV rays, we recommend wearing a T-shirt, shorts, long leggings or spats, or a long-sleeved rash guard over your swimsuit. What to bring: Swimsuit, towel, water shoes (with heels and toes covered) if you have them, and a waterproof camera if you want to take photos yourself. <Notes on clothing to bring> Cotton products have high water retention, so once they get wet, they are difficult to dry and become heavy, making them more likely to lose body heat. Therefore, please choose clothes made of synthetic fibers that are less absorbent and quick-drying, such as T-shirts, pants, and clothes made of materials such as polyester and nylon. *Swimsuits and towels are available for rental and sale, so you can participate even if you come empty-handed.
About rental items	Wetsuit (free), water shoes (charged) *Sizes: 17-29cm, mobile phone case (charged)
