You will hardly be able to believe that there is such a natural paradise just 90 mins from the center of Tokyo.
This is one of our most popular base locations, both for the courses that can be fully enjoyed by complete beginners, and for the fabulously tranquil environment that allows you to completely refresh.
The limestone mountains provide some great canyoning courses with a fantastic range of slides, jumps and rappels.
If you're looking for more adventurous, adrenaline-pumping courses, check out Minakami Canyoning.
Minakami also offers BBQ's, lodge and riverside glamping options as well as a number of other adventures such as rafting, packrafting, MTB,and bungy jumping.....
The two main courses in Okutama are Mononoke and Big Mononoke Canyon.
At Canyons, we use a level system to define the challenge level of the course. To make it a bit easier to understand the difference check the table below:

World class adventure just outside Tokyo
Okutama opens in mid-April and goes through until late October. As the area receives little snow, most of the courses are available all season. If you are looking to do more adventurous canyoning or would like a range of activities then we recommend Canyons Minakami.
Okutama is a popular city escape destination for people living in Tokyo. On weekends you can see the rivers lined with BBQ's and the mountain trails filled with hikers.
