What is Rafting?
H2O Guide Service offers rafting tours down the famous Tonegawa River. No experience needed.
Rafting involves lots of rubber, water and fun. Travel down the river with an experienced guide, and as a team, navigate the world class rapids of the Tonegawa River on a rubber boat.
All of our guides are fluent in English and have been in the Adventure Tourism industry for more than 10 years.
With spring in Japan comes snow-melt from the Alps which in turn provide us with exhilarating “High-Water flows”. The best time for rafting is spring.
As summer comes around the High-Water flows decrease and we offer “summer rafting” which involves lots of swimming and jumping and is a perfect way to beat the summer heat!
H2O Guide service offers Half-day rafting and One-day rafting tours.
Half Day Rafting Tour
The half-day tour has a wide range of courses which is dependant on the river flow at that time.
