  • Niseko's signature outdoor activity is rafting, a rubber boat ride down the Shiribetsu River at the foot of Mt. Yotei! It's an outdoor activity everyone should try at least once. We've added a new course during Golden Week in May, open to children from the first grade of elementary school! Bring the whole family for some rafting fun! Spring brings more water with it due to the increased water volume from melting snow, making rafting even more exciting than in the summer! ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ●The river is filled with melting snow, resulting in a faster flow and shorter rafting time. ●Since you will be traveling from Niseko Base to the starting point of the summer course, travel time will be longer than regular rafting. *In the event of rain, we will consult with you on the day to decide whether to proceed. *Depending on the weather and water level, the tour may be canceled. *Those who have been drinking or are pregnant are not permitted to participate. *Please enter a phone number (e.g., a mobile phone number) where we can contact you on the day. In case of cancellation or changes, please contact us by phone as soon as possible.
  • Golden Week in Niseko
  • There aren't many activities for elementary school students to experience in Niseko during Golden Week... In response to customer feedback, we are running a rafting course for a limited time only for a few days during Golden Week, where children from the first grade of elementary school can participate!
  • Speaking of Niseko!
  • Speaking of Niseko, rafting is one of the activities you should definitely try at least once. Come and create some great memories in Niseko with your family this Golden Week!
  • Spring rafting!
  • In spring, when the water level rises due to melting snow, you can enjoy more exciting rafting than in summer! Feel the nature with your whole body while getting splashed with water!
