Spring has sprung, and it is time to head out for a packraft adventure along the clear rivers of the Niyodo area!

The Niyodo River is known throughout Japan for the quality of its water, and is considered the purest and clearest in Japan. People come to this valley to go canyoning, white water rafting and packrafting in the clean water. Besides not having to worry about swimming around in any nasty chemicals, the brilliant color of the water (nicknamed Niyodo Blue) and clarity make you feel like you are floating on sapphires.
