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.

The Naka River, which originates in the Nasu Mountain Range and stretches approximately 150 km, flows through Tochigi and Ibaraki prefectures before emptying into the Pacific Ocean at Oarai, making it one of the cleanest rivers in the Kanto region. The Naka River near Nasukarasuyama City is wide and its meandering flow preserves a pristine natural landscape. Much of the natural beauty remains here, making it one of the few clean rivers in the Kanto region. During the tour, you'll encounter a plethora of plants, wild birds, and fish. You'll also see the riverbanks used for boat traffic during the Edo period. In particular, autumn offers stunning views of the beautiful autumn foliage and salmon swimming upstream, creating a truly captivating experience. Enjoy a leisurely rafting trip, letting yourself drift along the gentle current. We offer top-class guiding and risk management among outdoor companies in Tochigi Prefecture. Since opening in 2004, we have been breaking the record for zero accident insurance claims in our rafting and kayaking trips. We also offer an optional sweetfish set meal specially prepared by Hinokiya, the largest tourist fishing hole on the Naka River. Enjoy the delicious flavors of the Naka River. Take this opportunity to enjoy the Naka River to the fullest.
