Deer Canyon
Technical canyoning paradise
Tour information
Deer Canyon
Deer Canyon is a spectacular gorge fed by eight massive waterfalls, located just a short distance from Kusatsu Onsen. Every waterfall you'll tackle is a significant descent, with none being less than 10 meters high, and the largest reaching a thrilling 25 meters. This course is a true rope work paradise, where you'll utilize various rope systems to descend every single fall, making it a genuine full-scale canyoning experience.
Prepare for an array of exciting techniques: zip-lining that sends you soaring through the air and directly through waterfalls, rope descents where you'll brave powerful currents like a special forces operative, and exhilarating rappels down vertical falls, controlling your own rope as water cascades over you. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced canyoner, we can tailor the experience to your skill level, so you can join with confidence.
