  • ◆Spring Flood Season (Late April to Late June) This is the period when the Asia-Oceania Regional Qualifiers for the World Rafting Race Championships were held. The Tone River, swollen by melting snow, becomes a truly world-class rapid. The big waves and sense of speed are adrenaline-pumping. However, the meltwater is cold. Jag Sports offers equipment designed for comfort, including custom-made 5mm wetsuit jackets. We also offer free hot showers after the tour. ◆Refreshing Summer Rafting (July to October) In summer, the water level typically calms, and rafting takes place on the Suwa Gorge Course. The boat ride takes about 70 minutes, traveling 4 kilometers down the river. During this time, Suwa Gorge offers a variety of fun activities, including natural water slides, river surfing, and an 8-meter jump rock. This is also the time when many rafting tour participants participate.

  • Located in Minakami Town, Gunma Prefecture, our outfitter has 25 years of history. We plan and implement outdoor and adventure tours throughout the year, including rafting, canyoning, and snowshoeing. We are always striving to maximize customer satisfaction, and have received many positive reviews and ratings. [Review] "My husband and I went rafting for the first time at the end of April. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms, fresh greenery, and the hot spring town, as well as the water play experience, from getting used to the water to diving in (we can't swim, but with the kind support we received, we were able to do it with ease!). We also took lots of different photos at each stop, and we were delighted to receive the data immediately afterward! It was a chilly April day, but we were grateful for the hot showers and hair dryers afterward! The best part was the warmth of the staff. They were thorough in explaining everything from safety to the scenery, and their stories were fascinating, making for a fun time from start to finish! Thank you so much for a truly enjoyable time! It was a very satisfying experience."

  • Nice to meet you, I'm Jun Kano, owner guide. More than 20 years ago, I was a member of the university exploration club and dreamed of starting an outdoor guide company. During my time at university, I explored mountains, streams, rivers, snow, and caves all over Japan, pitching tents and holding training camps. After graduating, I joined an outdoor guide company and honed my skills as a mountain and river professional. When I decided to go independent and consider where to base myself, my travels around Japan led me to Minakami Town in Gunma Prefecture. The town's greatest attraction is its nature. Its outdoor possibilities are unmatched, with hot springs and high-quality activities throughout the year, suited to all four seasons. Plus, it's incredibly convenient to access from Tokyo. I'm still glad I chose Minakami Town. Minakami Town is the perfect place to enjoy the great outdoors and outdoor life. Why not take this opportunity to experience Minakami's natural beauty, soak in its hot springs, and refresh your mind and body?
