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.

Canyoning F.A.Q's

What 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) 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. swiftwater rescue technician

Would you suggest other canyoning companies?

We run our tours in association with Canyons, based in Gunma.
