This canyoning doesn't involve any difficult ropework, so you can have fun to your heart's content on a hot summer's day
No boats are used, and you travel down the river wearing only your equipment, so you can literally "experience" the flow of the river and the coldness of the rocks.
Big jump!
It's so fun to be hit by the waterfall!
On a hot summer day, you can have fun and feel like, "Let's go play in the river!"
You'll be amazed by the clarity of the water, allowing you to see all the way to the riverbed, and your soul will be soothed by the gentle light filtering through the greenery. Why not enjoy a summer day surrounded by untouched nature, feeling like you're a child again?
Canyoning is a river activity for adults!

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.

Dive!!
On the 1st, I went canyoning at HOA!! I thought it might be physically tough for girls, but it was no problem!! Diving off the cliff was super scary, but exciting! The people at HOA were also really nice, so I was very satisfied! I want to do it again next year!! (This review has been machine translated)

It was more fun than I imagined!!!
I participated alone. I had always wanted to try canyoning, and especially since it was an adventure trip with HOA, I was really excited, but it was even more fun than I expected! ♪ The first dive was right at the start. I thought, "They're doing it so close?", but no, there was still more and it kept getting higher lol. I'm not good with airplanes, Ferris wheels, or suspension bridges! I'm a little scared of heights, but thanks to my desire to fly and the pressure to fly, and the support of the guide and the two women who were participating, I was able to dive at all the points ☆ It felt so good!! !!! !!! ! I also gained confidence that "I can do this much" ☆ (← this is important). By the way, if you give up, they will take you around. There was a slider that was swept away by the water current, and at the end there was an adventure where you climbed a cliff with a rope (if you give up, they will connect you to the guide with a rope and let you climb), and it was exciting from start to finish, and I was very, very satisfied ♡. On the way, I thought maybe the ligament I had hurt before was tingling, so I told the guide, and he said, "Don't hold it in if it hurts, just let us know," and the female cameraman/guide who was following behind me held my hand until the end, so I felt at ease♪ HOA canyoning has a lot of exciting points, so I hope people who have experienced other canyoning activities will also try it. HOA, I'm going to try whitewater rafting next spring, so please look forward to it! (This review has been machine translated) -
