  • Second time

    We went with the same people as last time. The leaves came out a little early, but the weather was great and it was a great day♪ My son had a great time meeting our guide Ume-chan, who he wasn't able to meet last time! I'm also interested in the snowy scenery in winter, so I'd like to plan another trip♪ (This review has been machine translated)
  • It was like I was in a dream

    I participated with my two daughters. I was nervous about rafting for the first time, but the guide was very kind and we soon started to enjoy it. The autumn scenery and water were very beautiful, and we were able to have many experiences that we never expected, so we are very satisfied. The water was cold at the time, so they lent us dry suits. Our toes and the children's hair that were sticking out of the suits got wet, but our clothes didn't get wet.

  • An Amazing September Day

    This time, my 4-year-old daughter, my mother, and I participated! We were all a little nervous as it was our first time, but our fears were soon blown away and my daughter had a great time. (This review has been machine translated)

  • Thank you for your help on September 9th.

    Thank you for your hospitality on the 9th♪ We had a great time with my 5-year-old son and 70-year-old mother (^^) It was the first time for all three of us to experience rafting, and although my son and I hate bugs, we had a lot of fun thanks to the female guide's attentive support♪ My son has also become very attached to us, and even after we got home he said he wants to play with the older sister playing in the river again. I'm an indoor person, so I want to go again! I had so much fun that I'd like to go again during the autumn leaves season (^^) I'm planning on taking my beloved dogs with me too! Thank you for the fun and fulfilling time we had this time♪ (This review has been machine translated)
  • 9/4 Rafting

    I participated with my family of three, including my 3-year-old daughter. We all wore life jackets, and my daughter also wore a wetsuit. We rented shoes separately. I thought we wouldn't get too wet, but we could go down to the shallows and sandbars to play, so I recommend that you dress well enough to get wet. The staff were kind and fun, and we had a lot of fun! Thank you very much! (This review has been machine translated)
  • Recommended for beginners!

    In August, we experienced SAP for the first time as a couple, and the second time we experienced it with our dog, as two people and one dog. We were a little worried about bringing our dog, but the two guides, a man and a woman, were very kind and we had a great time! We definitely recommend it for beginners because you can experience SAP in a relaxed atmosphere while taking photos in the middle of nature, having casual conversations with the guide, and enjoying a sense of privacy!

  • It was nice to be free

    Lover When I participated in rafting in another place before, I always followed the instructions of the guide, but this SUP was relatively free to paddle. They prepared hot tea and marshmallows for me on the way, and it became a good memory. (This review has been machine translated)
  • The weather was great too.

    I went rafting with four friends. We were the only ones who made a reservation, so we were able to try out SUP, go into the waterfall, and jump in. It was a fulfilling experience. I'm very satisfied. It was also a good memory that we were able to get drone footage. (This review has been machine translated)
  • I recommend it!

    We participated in the SUP experience with our family of four, two children and two adults. It was a wonderful location surrounded by nature, and I was surprised to find such a place in Sapporo city. Also, the current was gentle, so even small children could paddle. The guide was very kind, and it was a very fun and good experience. (This review has been machine translated)
  • June 20th Very satisfied❣️

    I participated with two friends. Unfortunately, the river water was murky due to the thunderstorm the day before, but we were blessed with sunny weather and had a pleasant time. Our guide was fun, kind, and handsome (lol), and there was even a surprising surprise (I won't reveal the details, because it wouldn't be a surprise anymore...), so it was a very moving experience. I would like to participate again, and would like to recommend it to others❣️ (This review has been machine translated)
