- Blackwater Shower Caving, a unique activity in Japan, combines the exhilaration of shower climbing, where you splash around in the water while ascending the canyon, with the thrill of caving, where you use your whole body to navigate the darkness of the cave. Enjoy the calm and beautiful canyon while playing in the water, sometimes swimming up the river up to your face, sometimes crawling along under the current, and even descending a water slide where the rocks brush past you. Soothing views and heart-pounding excitement await! Even those who aren't good at sports can participate, but this tour isn't a monotonous tour where you follow a guide around. Based on the guide's advice, you can decide for yourself whether to go through the gaps in the rocks feet-first or head-first, and explore the course in your own way. Enjoy the beautiful nature while having fun on the river!
- Enjoy swimming in the river to your heart's content in the valley where the refreshing murmuring of the river echoes.

There are soothing views! There are thrilling experiences! Enjoy the beautiful nature and have fun on the river to your heart's content!
- The only one of its kind in Japan! A new type of activity that combines shower climbing and caving!
- This event is held in a special field in a beautiful valley, where numerous large and strangely shaped rocks are piled up one on top of the other! This is the only place where you can enjoy "Black Water Shower Caving," which combines the appeal of two activities: the exhilaration of shower climbing, where you can enjoy playing in the water while going up the valley, and the thrill of caving, where you use your whole body to navigate the darkness of the cave!
- How you conquer it is up to you!
- Even those who aren't good at sports can participate, but it's not a monotonous tour where you just follow behind a guide! The guide will give you examples and advice on how to get through the course. Based on their advice, you can think for yourself and conquer the course in your own way, such as "Should I go in feet first or head first to get through the gap in the rocks?" You can actively participate in the tour, so anyone can enjoy it to the fullest.
