Plan introduction(Chubetsu River Rafting Tour)
In this course, you can enjoy rafting at Chubetsu river which flows through the city of Asahikawa.
Although the river flow’s intensity is relatively calm, there are some spots with hard ups and downs, making the tour more thrilling than that of Sorachi river.
This tour is especially recommended for beginners or families with children.
It is also suitable for those who do not have enough time in Asahikawa since the meeting place is only 15 min away from Asahikawa Airport and Asahiyama Zoo by car.
Because this tour has two courses, one from 9:00 am and another from 1:00 pm, many participants plan their day by visiting the Asahiyama zoo on the same day.
We also recommend this if you are interested!
Moreover, since the water level of the river is relatively stable all year round, you can enjoy both a calm rafting and a bit wild rafting with this tour!
All participants will be wearing a life jacket and a wetsuit, so don’t be nervous even if you are not a good swimmer.
In addition, upon request, we can stop in the mid-way so that you can jump into the river and enjoy swimming too.
