Location Spotlight: Minakami
Welcome to our home base. Nestled in a tree-blanketed valley, surrounded by the towering mountains of Gunma Prefecture, Minakami is where it all started… We ran our first tours there, more than 20 years ago. It’s one of our favourite places to explore and adventure in Japan and it's the only place where we run our famous rafting trips down the Tone River! Featuring gorgeous canyons to explore and cool off in the heat of summer, amazing snow to play in during winter, exciting white water rapids during Spring! Minakami is an all-season adventure destination!
