A full-day rafting tour!
You can enjoy a variety of scenery depending on the season.
HOA river guides are fun geniuses!
The Mukawa River is said to be the fastest current in Hokkaido, and its steep drops and tricky rapids make my heart pound no matter how many times I go down it!
The thrill of descending through rocky terrain is something that can only be experienced on the Mukawa River.
The base is a wooden school building with an oriental atmosphere. After the tour, you can relax here. Toilets and changing rooms are also available.
Feel nature with all your heart!
The Saru River is also impressive during flood season!
Repeat customers are also very satisfied!

HOA was founded in 1997. It is based in a wooden school building where the former Chihae Elementary School was.
Step outside the former school and you can go rafting, kayaking, and even mountain climbing. The area is a first-class outdoor playground.
HOA’s guides are international and experience, coming from countries where river sports are popular, such as Australia, Nepal, and New Zealand. “We want even first-timers to experience the fun of outdoor sports,” is the desire they have as they take customers outdoors every day. Enjoy the activities in the great outdoors, the unique and talented guides, and the nature of Hidaka to the fullest.

The best ヽ(^。^)ノ
Today was great. We couldn't go to Mukawa River due to a landslide, but I was still very satisfied. In the morning, the weather was nice and it was a relaxing river boat ride, but in the afternoon, it was an exciting and thrilling river boat ride. Next time, I'd like to try Mukawa River. I look forward to seeing you again. (This review has been machine translated)
