"Akashiba Gorge" is one of the most beautiful scenic spots in Bandai-Asahi National Park. The area is covered with broad-leaved trees such as mountain maple, maple, and beech, and is a famous spot for autumn leaves that turn bright red every fall. It is said that the name Akashiba Gorge was given because it was called "Japanese red wall". The Arakawa River, which has a gorge, looks like a rapid current when viewed from National Route 113, but on this tour, you will tour a relatively calm area surrounded by granite rocks by canoe. Unlike canoeing on the lake, the field with a current is thrilling. After warming up, in the first half we will row back to the flow of the river. With a break on the way, the second half is a canoe down the valley. The view of Akashiba Gorge from the water with a guide is exceptional. Although it will be held rain or shine, it may be canceled at the discretion of the local guide, such as when the flow of the river is very fast. In that case, the fee will be fully refunded. Basic pets cannot ride together. Please contact us if you have enough experience.
