Product Info
The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.
- Speaking of river activities, rafting is a popular outdoor sport where you paddle down a natural river in an eight-person rubber boat. Each boat is accompanied by a guide, who provides full support and steers the boat to the finish line. ☆The Light Course shortens the latter half of the Active Course. It retains the atmosphere of the rapids but is slightly shorter in duration. It's designed to reduce risk and make it suitable for people of all ages. It's more affordable than the Active Course. ☆Rustica's Light Rafting Course uses the Isawa River in Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture, a rare river in eastern Japan where water levels often drop in the summer, allowing you to enjoy rapids even in the summer. Enjoy the exciting and thrilling experience of paddling down the rapids while soaking in the clean, cool water! ☆Rustica's rafting tours are all-inclusive! [Free Photo Data] We provide free photo data taken by the guide and photographer during the tour. [Free Rental Equipment] We offer a full range of cleaned and dried equipment for free, allowing you to enjoy water activities comfortably from spring to autumn. Have fun to your heart's content in the Tohoku region's natural beauty!
