"Family-only rafting that lets you feel the bond between family members".Safety and fun are the top priorities for this tour. We don't choose courses that are too intense for children to be scared. Even children who are not good at swimming can feel safe as long as they wear a life jacket. Those who are not confident in their physical strength or feel a little scared do not need to force themselves to paddle. Licensed and certified river guides will provide full support. ./Challenge the river by joining forces/Get on one boat with the whole family and go down the river together! At first, the rowing is awkward, but as you all join together and call out "1! 2! 1! 2!" and overcome the current, the family becomes one and the boat moves smoothly. ./There are plenty of water activities that parents and children can enjoy together/In places where the current is gentle, you can get in the water and swim, use the boat as a slide, and use underwater goggles and fishing nets to interact with the creatures in the river. ./Moments of challenges bring about growth in children/There are endless ideas for play, such as jumping from the boat into the water. Try whatever comes to mind. You will encounter unexpected moments of growth in your children! .. "Let's make the best memories to talk about with your family". Forget about your daily life, have fun, and laugh as much as you can! The memories you make with your whole family will surely be memorable. Laugh together, take on challenges, and grow together. Experience such a special time with this rafting trip! ~Experience flow~ 8:45 Meeting and reception The meeting place is the Earthship.

To be honest, beginners often can't enjoy skiing or snowboarding. Falling hurts. And worst of all, it's cold. It's nice to go skiing with experienced skiers and get some instruction, but since those experienced skiers are also there, it's common for people to get thrown out midway through ski resorts. I remember being thrown out at the top as a beginner, falling over and over, and finally making it down on my bottom, only to find a rest area. I'm not alone in this scene; ski resorts are full of it. "I don't understand what's so fun about it..." It's such a shame and a shame to see someone motivated! But once you can ski properly, it's just so much fun. It's so much fun you can't take a break. It's so much fun you look forward to the weekend. It's so much fun you get excited about snow forecasts. It might even make you want to live in a snowy country, changing your life. For beginners, we teach you how to fall. For experienced skiers, we offer high-quality lessons tailored to your needs. Level up guaranteed! *Please note that insurance does not cover non-Japanese residents. If you do not reside in Japan, please make sure to purchase your own insurance in advance before participating.
