The Chubetu River originates from the Daisetsu mountain range, which stands tall in central Hokkaido and irrigates the Kamikawa Basin.
The name “Chubetsu” comes from the Ainu words “Chu” (waves) and “Pet” (river). The river is full of rapids with white waves, but the drops are not that large, so children as young as 5 years old can participate- making it a great family trip!

First time rafting
My family (including my grandmother, age 70, and my grandson, age 6) It was our first time rafting. The guide (from Nepal) was very kind and taught us how to paddle carefully. We had a safe, fun and enjoyable time. I'm glad we decided to apply. It's the best memory of my summer vacation. Thank you very much. (This review has been machine translated) -
My daughter's first rafting trip
On July 25th, my family and I enjoyed rafting on the Chubetu River. My daughter (7 years old) didn't seem scared at all and enjoyed it. Of course, the adults were also very satisfied with rafting in the great outdoors. Thank you to our guide, Chris, and the photographer, Joy. (This review has been machine translated)

It feels so good ^_^ I pushed my old body to its limits and did my best!
On the way back from a trip to Eastern Hokkaido, I participated in rafting on the Chubetu River in Higashikawa Town. The guide was a Nepalese woman who spoke perfect Japanese and gave precise instructions, so I was able to entrust my life to her with peace of mind. It was said to be a calm river, but the rocks and white waves made it quite impressive. There were also places where you could swim along the way, which felt great on a scorching hot day. They took lots of photos for us, but the other group (who had far more...) was only 3,000 yen all inclusive, so I decided not to go. If I had been able to choose at least five photos and they were around 1,000 yen, I would have bought them. That's why I took one star off. (This review has been machine translated) -

First time rafting!
I took a trip to Hokkaido during the Obon holidays, and to fully enjoy the nature of Hokkaido, I went rafting on the Chubetu River. There were five of us, including my local friends and siblings, and it was a fun activity that really got everyone excited! The Nepalese guides were also friendly, and all of us worked together to conquer the river. We were able to swim in the river at two points along the way, and even though it was summer, the water was very cold and I remember freezing. I've heard that rafting activities are held in other places, so I'd like to participate again if I get the chance. (This review has been machine translated) -

Even we, a bunch of shy and clumsy people, enjoyed it (^ν^) We got super wet, but it was so fun (^ν^) (This review has been machine translated) -
Nature is the best
Four parents and children go rafting during summer vacation! The sisters, who usually fight, are always concerned about their younger sister who is about to fall into the river, and there are touching scenes where they work together. It's the best~ (*^-^)／＼(*^-^*)／＼(^-^*) Next time, I want to try the advanced version. (This review has been machine translated) -
Asahikawa/Chubetsu River Rafting is fun!
It was my first time rafting, but I really enjoyed it! The explanation at the beginning was easy to understand, which was one of the reasons I felt at ease before starting. I was able to enjoy the pleasant river water and negative ions while looking at Hokkaido's nature. Of course, I would like to experience it again, so thank you for this experience. *If there was a video recording service, it would be even more memorable. (This review has been machine translated)
