3, 2, 1…JUMP!

As soon as the weather gets warm, you’ll see locals and visitors gather all along the crystal clear Shimanto River

From hopping on a yakatabune (traditional leisure boat) to renting a raft, canoe or stand up paddleboard (SUP) with your buddies, you can enjoy numerous activities along Japan’s last free-flowing river

One of our favorite activities though, is jumping off the iconic chinkabashi submersible bridges on special tours with an instructor who can show you which spots are safe. The adrenaline before you take the leap, liberation as you soar through the sky, and amazing sensation as you splash into the cool water…there’s nothing like it!
