Let's go rafting along the beautiful Tamagawa river with some cliff/rock jumps here and there! Spring season is the best time to go rafting when the snow melts making the river wild and crazy.

A short (optional) hike up to the peaks of Mt. Sougaku (756m) and Mt. Iwatakeishi (793m). Breathe some fresh air, and enjoy beautiful forest landscapes while hiking these two peaks. The hike is easy level and can be done (up and down) under 3 hours.

Another outdoor adventure not to be missed!
