Product Info

◆Open to ages 3 and up! Same-day reservations available for afternoon tours! ◆Experience the Niyodo Blue! 　The Niyodo River has been recognized as having the cleanest water in Japan through water quality surveys. 　Let us all paddle together on an 8-person boat along a calm and beautiful course! ◆Guided safely by river experts! 　The Niyodo River is calm and flows close to residential areas. 　It is not a raging torrent, so it is perfectly fine for those who have never played in a river or are not confident swimmers. 　Even in areas with faster currents, our guides will safely navigate the boat. ◆Tours customized for our guests! 　We tailor the tour based on group size, age, and weather conditions. 　For kids who love fish, we can try scooping them up in the shallows. 　For those who want to swim, we provide plenty of time to do so! 　For those who just want to relax and enjoy the scenery on the boat, we offer a leisurely tour! 　There is just enough excitement to keep things interesting! 　Our tours are also popular with multi-generational families. ◆Please note that any shrimp or fish caught will be released. Also, please understand that there are times when nothing is caught. ◆'Ranman' and 'Belle' 　The setting for the morning TV drama series 'Ranman' is the neighboring town of Sakawa. 　Filming also took place at the starting point of this tour. 　Additionally, the sunken bridge we pass under in the latter half of the tour was featured in the movie 'Belle'. 　It remains a popular tourist spot today. ◆After the tour, we will return to the base to cool down. 　Feel free to ask our staff any questions you may have about sightseeing in Kochi!
We will pull up baskets to see if we have caught any shrimp or fish during the tour!
In addition to enjoying the Niyodo Blue, adults can fully enjoy the experience with moderate rapids and diving spots. In particular, you can enjoy the thrilling experience of not knowing what is inside the baskets set up during the tour. Every year, it is a huge hit when we find fish, shrimp, and sometimes even turtles or catfish! This tour is not just about riding in a boat; it is a fun experience for the whole family, including swimming, looking for fish, or just floating and relaxing!

Purchase Notice

Questions regarding reservations:

Question 1: If you have children, please tell us their ages.

Regarding the cancellation of the event:

The tour will proceed even in light rain (it's so much fun you won't even notice the rain). However, if it is deemed unsafe to conduct the tour due to factors such as typhoons or heavy rain causing the river to swell, we will notify you of the cancellation by 7 PM the day before.

Important notes regarding course participation:

*We recommend that women and children wear rash guards. This will protect you from sunburn and make you safer when walking on rocks or swimming. *Please eat a proper breakfast and lunch before the tour. Before the tour, we recommend drinking caffeine-free water or barley tea. *There are no shower facilities, but the advantage of the river is that you won't feel sticky like you would in the sea! There are also hot springs within a 15-30 minute drive. *We are located 30 minutes from Niko-buchi and Nakatsu Gorge, and 40 minutes from Yasui Gorge, so you can easily visit famous tourist spots after the tour ends.
