Head to the spectacular emerald green scenery! OGUNI GREEN - Tamagawa Valley Shower Climbing - Baikagi, Oguni Town, Yamagata Prefecture This is an experiential program where you can enjoy authentic water play, "shower climbing," in Tamagawa Valley. What is "shower climbing"? Shower climbing is a perfect summer outdoor activity, allowing you to become one with nature as you ascend mountain streams and waterfalls while being splashed with water. Its thrilling experience, combining elements of mountain climbing and water play, including climbing rocks and jumping into waterfall basins, has made it a popular summer leisure activity for cooling off. This time's field, "Tamagawa Valley," is Tamagawa Valley, a clear stream flowing from the Iide Mountains, located very close to the hot spring facility "Baikagi-so" in Oguni Town. The water flowing through the deep gorge is exceptionally clear, and the refraction of light creates a beautiful "emerald green" spring. We named the spring "OGUNI GREEN" for its distinctive green color, which makes it seem like a hidden treasure deep in the mountains. At its deepest point, it's over 5m deep! Another noteworthy point is that the water is so clear that it doesn't even feel deep. There are plenty of spots where you can enjoy stream walking, swimming across the spring, and even water jumping. Supported by RAC-certified guides RAC-certified shower climbing guides will guide you so that even first-timers can enjoy playing in the water with peace of mind. Now, let's go on an adventure to see the spectacular views of "OGUNI GREEN"!

[June to November: held on weekdays] Akashiba Gorge is a scenic spot in Bandai Asahi National Park with a stunning landscape. The area is covered with broadleaf trees such as Japanese maples, maples, and beeches, and is a famous spot for autumn leaves that turn bright red every fall. It is said that the name Akashiba Gorge came from the fact that it was called the "Red Wall of Japan." The Arakawa River, where the gorge is located, looks like a rapid when viewed from National Route 113, but on this tour, you will canoe in a relatively calm area surrounded by granite. The field has a different flow than canoeing on a lake, which makes you feel nervous. After warming up, you will paddle upstream against the flow of the river in the first half. With a break in between, you will canoe down the valley in the second half. The view of Akashiba Gorge from the water with a guide is exceptional. *In 2025, the tour will be held from Monday to Friday. If you would like to take the Akashiba Gorge canoe tour on weekends, please contact us. On weekends, we mainly hold canoe tours around Lake Shirakawa and Mibuchi Valley. The tour will be held even if it rains, but if the river is flowing very fast, the tour may be canceled at the discretion of the local guide. In that case, the fee will be fully refunded. Pets are not allowed on the tour. Please contact us if you have sufficient experience.
