Water leisure activities in the river
Lush green forests; sparkling clear, streams; and the deep blue ocean into which the streams flow. One characteristic of the Nanki Kumano Geopark area is the large amount of rain it receives due to the influence of the Kuroshio Current. There are also plenty of activities allowing you to experience these water blessings with your whole body.
Here we introduce river activities.
Canoeing and river kayaking
Try canoeing or river kayaking down the Koza River,is one of the clearest streams in Nanki, which snakes between steep mountains. Due to the river’s gentle current, even beginners can enjoy these activities with confidence. In addition to the Koza River, there are also various other places in Nanki Kumano where you can enjoy canoeing and other activities.
Rafting
Flowing through a valley, the Kitayama River is a well-known spot for “rafting,” an outdoor sport in which participants ride downstream in inflatable boats carried by fierce currents. A certified geosite, the valley lets you experience thrilling adventures.
