Amazing and fun experience in nature.

It was an unforgivable experience, the guides are very friendly and were always cracking a joke making the tour light and fun. If you like adventure and nature, then I couldn't recommend this tour more. The equipments are top notch and the base camp is well equipped with showers, etc. I hope I can return one day to do another tour with them.

Excellent tour, would highly recommend to anyone that wants an adventure and to get away from the city. Gorgeous views and great tour guides. Ko and Rapan were very knowledgeable and kept us very safe throughout the tour.

First Time Canyoning ~ An Unforgettable Experience In Okutama

It was my first time canyoning, and even though I was pretty chicken even for the beginner’s course, the guides were really kind and encouraging, and I made new friends in the group! The scenery was so incredibly gorgeous, I wouldn’t have minded just taking photos the whole time. It was like being in a forest from a Studio Ghibli. (Hence the course being named after Princess Mononoke.) The entire group was super fun, and the guides were super professional, friendly, and put safety first. I’ll definitely be back for more, and with a little more courage now that I know what to expect. Definitely recommend!!

Awesome Tour for a Family

Great trip! We are from Minnesota, USA so we had no idea what to expect. But upon arrival, they gave us full wet suits, socks, shoes, and helmets. The suits are buoyant, so you don't have to be an expert swimmer. We had Ericson as our guide and he is from Canada & speaks English! He was top-notch and super fun! We are a family of 4 with 2 young adults (18 & 19 years old). Everyone had a great time. You take a 30-minute bus ride. Hike up 20 minutes. You get to repel, slide, and jump all the way down into amazing pools. If there is ever a spot you are not confident in doing the activity there is a way to walk around. We took the subway from Tokyo to the town. Then did the 1/2 mile walk to Canyons.

Best summer memories

It was my first time playing in the river! The two guides were so bright and gentle and fun♪ The river water was so beautiful and pleasant, diving, natural slides, zip lines… It was a great canyoning experience! They also take a lot of photos and videos, and at the end they give it away for free, making it a really nice summer memory. I really recommend it!! I want to enjoy another level of canyoning next♪

Enjoy the great outdoors just outside the city center!

It was my first time canyoning, but I really enjoyed the friendly explanations from our Guides Kou and Eri and the brightness of their smiles throughout. A river ride in a valley surrounded by mossy rocks… I was so impressed to see such luxury in a day trip from the city center. It's full of adventure and really recommended!
