Thanks to the dam upstream, this area has abundant water throughout the season! This is recommended for those looking for rafting in thrilling conditions.

I want to do it again!
My daughter and I participated together, and I'm glad we participated because we couldn't have experienced going down the river twice by ourselves! We took a bus to the participation point and were taught how to ride the rubber boat. The first time was over in a flash, but it was an adventure with lots of splashes. The second time, the guide made it even more fun than the first time. For example, surfing in the water, climbing the waterfall, jumping off the rocks! It was the best event this summer. They took us there by bus and there was no cleaning up afterwards. It was well worth participating! I'd like to do it again next year. (This review has been machine translated)
