Product Info

Niseko's signature outdoor activity is rafting, a rubber boat ride down the Shiribetsu River at the foot of Mount Yotei! It's an outdoor activity you definitely want to try. In spring, the river's water level increases with the melting snow, creating a spring-only course. From mid-May onwards, the summer course is packed with river activities! Enjoy even more active activities, like jumping from the boat! Experience Niseko's seasonal changes! *Elementary school students will be able to participate from June onwards. Please note that while the system allows you to enter the number of participants before June, it will not be accepted. ■■ ... ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Speaking of Niseko!
Speaking of Niseko, rafting is one of the activities you should definitely try at least once. Rafting is held from spring to autumn, but even during the event period, the courses change with the seasons. Enjoy the fun of each activity.
Spring rafting!
Spring, when the water level rises due to melting snow, is a season that adults can enjoy to the fullest. Get splashed with water and experience the nature with your whole body as you go down the river!
Summer rafting! Elementary school students start in June!
Once the water level drops, the course will automatically switch to the summer course (the river is the same, but the starting and finishing points will change). The summer course is full of river activities! From this season onwards, elementary school students can join in the fun, jumping from the boat and enjoying the scenery from the river!
