Kids Programs
We participated as a family. The kids were very happy with their first rafting experience! The staff guided us quickly and smoothly when we prepared and cleaned up. The staff and guides were friendly and we had a lot of fun! I would definitely like to use this place again. And I would also like to recommend this place to others.

It was awesome!
We participated as a family of four (sons ages 9 and 3). It rained both the day before and the day itself, so we were worried about whether it would be okay, but the current was quite strong, so we were lucky! It's rare to find a river rafting trip that our 3-year-old son can participate in, so we were very grateful, and both of our sons were very satisfied! They said they want to go again tomorrow. We were well prepared for the cold, and it wasn't too cold even in September. And the guide from Nepal was a really nice person, and our whole family loved him.♡I should have asked his name...I wish we could have taken a photo together... So we'll definitely go again next year! Thank you for the wonderful experience. (This review has been machine translated) -

It was a lot of fun
I took advantage of the Doumin Discount and participated with my daughter, who is in the third grade of elementary school. Both children and adults had a great time! First of all, the reception and changing rooms were well-cleaned and we felt comfortable there. The toilets were also clean. Dry suits and river shoes were available for rent, and they were also clean and did not have the usual smell. The guide was from Nepal, and was very friendly and fun. However, he was very careful about safety, so we enjoyed the trip with peace of mind. It is amazing to be a nature guide in a foreign land. There were two families, including us, and we each had our own rafting boat, so we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. I guess it was a measure against the coronavirus. The Shisolaputi River was very clean, and it was just right for elementary school children to raft. It would be fine for kindergarteners who are not afraid. I heard that there were few fish this year, but we caught two uguis. My child was happy to catch one by himself for the first time. We could also jump from a small cliff, so I jumped in as a child again. We were also impressed that they included a CDR of the photos. On the way out, I told my child, "I want to come again next year," and he replied, "I want to come next week" (laughs). Thank you to all the staff for a fun time!

Only the Nepalese guide was trying his best.
The guide was a Nepalese, and although he spoke broken Japanese, he was a very nice person and tried his best to guide us. Thank you very much. However, the other staff members were terrible. I was surprised at how unfriendly they were. We were the ones who were being considerate. There were many Japanese people, so why did they just stand there and look somewhere while the guide explained things to us in broken Japanese? We were the only customers. At first, I thought it was a private tour, and I was a little happy, but I understood that there were no customers. If the staff are going to serve customers, they should have a more hospitable attitude. No one will come if they continue like this. I have experienced rafting elsewhere, and the guide was very polite, so it's a shame. Even a child can tell that the relationship between the staff members is not going well. And the guide took the pictures for us, so I bought the DVD (photo), but the DVD arrived without a case and wrapped in paper. This is also unacceptable. I hope the Japanese staff will be more motivated. (This review has been machine translated)
