Spring (Late April – Late May)

As temperatures begin to rise shortly after the winter season, snowmelt causes the Shiribetsu River and its tributaries to swell in volume. Thanks to this, you can face numerous exciting challenges such as high water levels and fast rapids. As a result, many suppliers only allow adults to participate during this period.

Summer (Early June – Mid September)

During summer when the run off from the mountains has eased, you can expect gentler rafting courses. Summer rafting is particularly recommended for families and first timers.
