Full Day Kamoshika Canyon Tour
Even
in the swelter of Japan's mid summer heat, Kamoshika Canyon is an
amazingly cool and shaded place to recreate. This canyon is the result
of a millennia of natural forces: plate tectonics, volcanic activity,
glaciation and water running down from the high plateaus of Japan's
Northern Alps. This swift flowing water has carved out soft volcanic
basalt rock to create steep slick rock waterfalls and deep pools.
From using ropes to descend 15 metre waterfalls, sliding down multiple
smaller waterfalls, swimming in deep fresh pools, jumping from the
canyon walls to zooming down our 70 metre Flying Fox-- you are sure to
be thrilled. So come and see why everyone is raving about canyoning.

Kamoshika Canyon (pictured on the left) is one of our most popular
summer adventures. This three hour tour is guaranteed to be your most
memorable event this summer.

Canyoning F.A.Q'sWhat is canyoning?Canyoning is the sport of decending, well, canyons. These may be dry canyons but most of the time canyoning or canyoneering is done in creek canyons. Slide down waterfalls and splash in to deep pools that have been carved by milenia of fast flowing water. This is done by various methods: swimming, jumping, abseiling, using ropes, and cascading down whitewater chutes. There is some hiking involved to access the canyons, but about 80% of the time is spent in the water. Is your staff qualified to conduct such tours? Evergreen Guides are certified by the Swiftwater Rescue 3 & Â Commission Internationale de Canyon (CIC) 
Is canyoning safe? There are associated risks involved, but we emphasize safety on our tours. Do I need prior canyoning experience? No Do I need strong swimming skills? Not really. All canyoning participants wear a lifejacket, so moderate water skills are enough. What gear should I bring? Just your swim gear and a towel. All required gear and transportation is included in the price. What is the best time for canyon tours? Tours run from May through late October. Late spring and early summer have the highest water flow - a bit more exciting - but unlike rafting, the thrill of canyoning isn't water dependent. Cancellations If on arrival at the canyon the water level is found to be too high, EOC reserves the right to cancel the tour. In this case alternate dates may be offered or full refunds will be made. 
Would you suggest other canyoning companies? We run our tours in association with Canyons, based in Gunma. For tours in Minakami & Kusatsu, contact them directly. For tours in Shikoku contact Happy Raft. |
