White Water Rafting
View All Dates
Overview
Rafting in Japan is a fun and exciting way to escape the city and refresh yourself in beautiful natural surroundings. You don't need any previous experience and all equipment is provided.
For this trip, we will meet at Mitake Station (90min direct train from Shinjuku) and walk together along the river to the rafting base. After getting changed and equipped, we will spend the morning heading down stream on rafts, battling the rapids along the way! Its six people per raft, so its also a great way to meet people as you work together to master the river. After a fun morning on the water we will take a short riverside stroll to the local sake brewery, where we can have lunch by the river and try some of the fantastic local sake on offer. There is also the option to visit one of the local hot springs before heading back to Tokyo.

Trip Reviews
The rafting trip was amazing. The weather was beautiful and the water was cool and refreshing. Keiji was an amazing tour guide and added more fun to the trip. It was a great way to meet other people on this trip as well and make new friends. After the rafting Keiji introduced us to this local restaurant. The food there was great including the fish that was freshly grilled. Last stop was the sake brewery. We each bought a bottle of sake and shared it by the wonderful refreshing river. I'll come do this again when the weather gets warmer.
It was an amazing trip which started in the morning at 9 AM. We did water rafting in Okatuma for about 2 hours. The rapids were not difficult but it's a good experience for beginners. The planning of trip was great as well as its execution. The instructors werer very nice and helpful. We had a good time meeting new people.
Joining this trip was a last minute decision and I'm so glad I did! It was an amazing way to spend my Sunday, just an hour and half outside of Tokyo. Keiji was a a great tour guide/host - friendly, accommodating and engaging. White Water Rafting at this river was a good mix of exciting and chill. The tour size was just right - small enough to get a change to talk with everyone. The lunch and sake brewery was the perfect way to end the day. I would definitely do this again and/or try their other trips :)
It was soooo much fun!!!
My first river rafting exciting experience with interesting group and great atmosphere at Tama River.
