I had a fun rafting experience.
It was our first time rafting, and my two sons, who weren't enthusiastic at first, started to enjoy it very much. They said they wanted to come again, so we hope to come again next year. (This review has been machine translated) -
Family's first rafting experience
I wanted to have a unique Hokkaido experience, so I applied for rafting to experience nature. On the day I applied, there happened to be no other customers, so we had the place to ourselves. The kids were scared at first, but by the end they were having a blast. It was a great experience for the whole family. I recommend this course. (This review has been machine translated)

It was fun.
I thought it was great that everything was done efficiently, from changing clothes and safety instructions, to the rafting practice and actual experience, drink service, photo shoots and sales, and talks. It was my first time rafting, but I was happy to be able to entrust myself to a knowledgeable guide and have an experience that both children and adults could enjoy. Highly recommended.
