We are a group of 5 pax and we had a great walk with Kanako san as our guide. We saw bear claws mark on the tree, bear paws print, deer skull and things we would have miss if we were to walk on our own. A deer suddenly ran towards us and stayed with us during our walk and Kanako San told us it not a good sign as the deer might have been spooked by a bear. It was a beautiful and exciting walk for us. Highly recommend Kanako san for your guided walk.

First-timers can enjoy river rafting.The Naka River, which originates from the Nasu Mountain Range, has a total length of approximately 150 km. It is one of the clearest streams in the Kanto region, flowing through Tochigi and Ibaraki prefectures and flowing into the Pacific Ocean from Oarai. The Nakagawa River near Nasukarasuyama City is wide and meandering, creating an old-fashioned natural landscape. There is a lot of untouched nature here, and it is one of the few clear streams in the Kanto region. During the tour, we saw many plants, wild birds, and fish.
