Full-day guided whitewater rafting on the Yoshino River in Tokushima's Iya Valley. The Yoshino River cuts through the dramatic Iya Valley with rapids that'll get your heart racing and calm stretches where you can soak in the mountain scenery. This isn't just any rafting trip – it's a full-day adventure with experienced guides who know every twist and turn of the river.

Your day starts with gearing up at the rafting base before heading out for the morning session. You'll navigate exciting rapids, paddle through crystal-clear mountain water, and work as a team to conquer the river's challenges. Around midday, take a break right on the riverbank for a relaxed lunch – homemade bagels served riverside while you catch your breath and enjoy the peaceful valley surroundings.

After lunch, it's back on the water for round two. The afternoon session brings more rapids, more splashes, and that incredible feeling of riding the current through one of Japan's most beautiful river gorges. By the time you finish, you'll be soaked, tired, and grinning from ear to ear. All gear is provided, and the guides make sure everyone – from first-timers to experienced rafters – has a safe and thrilling time.
