About This Tour
Enjoy kayaking at Oboke Gorge, a deep canyon crafted by the torrents of the Yoshino River that crosses the Shikoku Mountains. Designated as a national natural monument and a place of scenic beauty, Oboke attracts many rafting and kayaking enthusiasts during the summer season and is also known for the Oboke Pleasure Cruise, which has a history of more than 100 years. Riding a kayak down the river, paddling with your own strength or letting the current carry you along is an adventure in itself. The Yoshino River, which shines emerald green and reflects the colors of the seasons, is a vibrant natural treasure just waiting for you to enjoy. You'll be guided by an expert, who has experience winning kayaking competitions, and will give you a detailed lecture on how to hold, ride, and paddle the boat. Whether you are new to river kayaking or have experience, lessons are available for all levels, so please feel free to join us!
