All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I had a wonderful time.

It was unfortunate that, due to the wind, the sunset was partially blocked by the trees, but even so, the way the sunset spread across the sky and enveloped me was very pleasant.

In the second half, climbing up to a high point to overlook the beautiful ocean of Okinawa was absolutely stunning.

I enjoyed canoeing and the sunset, and I was very satisfied. I would like to go again.

Thank you very much.

とても楽しませていただきました。

風の関係からサンセットをどうしても
木越しになることになってしまったのは
残念でしたが、
それでもとても夕日が空中に広がっていき
全身が包まれていく感覚はとても心地よかったです。

また後半は高台に上って見渡す沖縄の海も最高に美しかったです。

カヌーも楽しめて夕日も楽しめて、
とても満足しました。
また行きたいと思います。

ありがとうございました。

It was my first experience with the banana boat and the marble, and it was the best time filled with thrills and laughter! The staff were warm and welcoming, and I definitely plan to come back here when I visit Okinawa again!! Thank you for the wonderful time!

バナナボートとマーブル初体験でしたが、絶叫あり笑いありで最高の一時となりました！
スタッフの方々も温かく、沖縄に行った際には絶対にまたここに来ようと思います！！
素敵な時間をありがとうございました！

The sea conditions the day before were poor, so we changed our plan from snorkeling to SUP and canyoning. It was both of our first times, but with the thorough explanations, we were able to enjoy it safely.

On the SUP, we spent a relaxing time surrounded by plenty of greenery in the mangroves. The changing scenery over time was also captivating. The gentle current made it possible for beginners to stand up.

Canyoning was a bit scary at first, but once you jump into the river, the fun takes over. The river water might be a little cold. Playing in the midst of nature in 360° was the best way to refresh both mind and body.

Additionally, our guide took photos and shared various information about the flora and fauna and the island, allowing us to fully enjoy Iriomote Island. Next time, I would like to try snorkeling as well.

前日の海の状況が悪く、シュノーケリングからSUP +キャニオニングのプランに変更。
どちらも初めてでしたが、丁寧な説明で安全に楽しむことができました。
SUPはマングローブ内で沢山の緑に触れゆったりとした時間を過ごすことができます。時間で変わっていく景色も魅力的でした。流れが穏やかなので初心者でも立つことができました。
キャニオニングは最初は怖さがありますが、１度川に飛び込めば楽しさの方が勝ちます。少し川の水は冷たいかも。360°大自然の中で思いっきり遊んで心もカラダもリフレッシュできて最高でした。
プラスαでガイドさんが写真を撮ってくださったり、動植物や島のことなど色んなことを教えてくれるので沢山西表島を満喫できました。次は、シュノーケリングも体験してみたいです。

Two years ago, I came to Miyako Island, but due to the typhoon, I couldn't go snorkeling or visit the Pumpkin Cave... This time, it's a revenge trip!! During snorkeling, the guide took us to a spot where we could see sea turtles! The ocean was so beautiful and there were lots of fish! I was really happy that the guide took pictures of the fish underwater and sent them to my phone later! At the Pumpkin Cave, I was overwhelmed by the mystical world. The water appeared blue due to the spring water, and the guide provided detailed explanations about places where people used to pray to the gods, which was really enjoyable!

2年前に宮古島に来たのですが台風の影響でシュノーケルやパンプキン鍾乳洞には行けず、、、今回リベンジ！！シュノーケルではガイドの方がウミガメの見れるところまで案内してくれます！海がとても綺麗で魚もいっぱい！ガイドの方が水中で魚の写真をとって後で携帯に送ってくれて嬉しかったです！またパンプキン鍾乳洞では神秘的な世界に圧倒されました。湧水の影響で水が青に見えたり、昔神様にお祈りしていた場所など、ガイドの方が詳しく説明してくださりとても楽しかったです！

It was my first time walking for 10 hours, and I was a bit worried, but I had a great time. Our guide, Tsugimura, was excellent! The long trolley path was filled with games and quizzes, keeping everyone laughing, and we were able to take photos with the guests, which became a nice memory. On the mountain path, using earphones made it easy to hear the conversation even from a distance. On the second day, we had to cut our visit to Shiratani Unsuikyo short due to heavy rain, but we were still able to go sightseeing around the island afterward. It was truly a fun tour! I would love to request this again when I come to Yakushima.

10時間も歩くのは初めてで少し心配でしたが、楽しく歩けました。
ガイドの津曲さんがとても良かったです！
長いトロッコ道もゲームやクイズで笑いが絶えず、お客さん達の写真を撮って最後に頂けて記念になりました。
山道ではイヤホンを使い離れていても話が聞きやすかったです。
2日目の白谷雲水峡は大雨で途中までになってしまいましたが、その後島内観光に行って頂けました。
本当に楽しいツアーでした！屋久島に来るときはまたお願いしたいと思います。

I was worried about the rain until the day before, but it was sunny on the day of the tour, and I was able to walk around happily! The tour guide was very polite and taught us many things, making it easy to talk and walk comfortably! Due to the impact of COVID-19, we couldn't go abroad for our honeymoon, but this trip became our honeymoon! It turned out to be a wonderful memory!

前日まで雨が心配でしたが、当日は晴れて楽しく歩くことができました！ツアーガイドさんがとても丁寧に色々なことを教えてくれたりして話しやすく、安心して歩けました！コロナの影響で行きたかった海外へ新婚行けませんでしたが、この旅が新婚旅行になりました！すごくいい思い出となりました！

It rained from the morning, and the rental raincoat and backpack cover were very helpful! The guide was fun and worked hard to teach us various things, which made it really enjoyable! They also pointed out great spots for photos, and at Taiko Rock, we were able to relax. Although we couldn't see anything at Taiko Rock, it was still a lot of fun!

朝から雨が降り、レンタルのレインコートとバックカバーが役立ちました！ガイドさんが楽しく色々なことを一生懸命教えてくれてすごく楽しかったです！写真撮るポイントも教えてくれたり、太鼓岩ではゆっくり過ごさせてくれたり、太鼓岩では何も見えませんでしたが楽しかったです！

The weather was unstable until the day before, and I was worried about rain, but it turned out sunny. The tour guide matched our personalities well, making it easy to talk, listen, and walk, which allowed us to participate with great peace of mind and enjoyment! From the moment we arrived in Yakushima, they carefully helped us with our shoes, so we could look forward to the next day with confidence! There were many amazing cedars before reaching Jomon Sugi, and when I finally saw the cedar I wanted to see the most, it was a bit disappointing that it was far from my viewing position, but it became a precious moment! It turned into a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!

前日まで天気が安定せず雨が心配でしたが、晴れてくれました。ツアーガイドさんが私たちの性格にあっており、話しやすく聞きやすく歩きやすく、とても安心して楽しく参加することができました！屋久島到着してすぐの靴の合わせから丁寧にしていただき安心して次の日を待ってられました！縄文杉を見るまでにすごい杉がたくさんあって、一番見たかった杉を見たときには、見る位置から遠くて少し残念でしたが、貴重な時間となりました！！
いい思い出になりました！ありがとうございました！！

The female staff's guidance was excellent! They were very kind to the children as well! They even recommended a great restaurant, which was really delicious!

女性のスタッフさんのガイドが凄く良かったです！
子どもにも凄く良く接して頂けました‼︎
オススメのご飯屋さんまで教えて頂き
そこも凄く美味しかったです‼︎

The explanation during the gathering, as well as the transfer from Kerama, was smooth and comfortable. For snorkeling, since the original destination was not clear, I was taken to another uninhabited island for snorkeling. I was amazed by the rare blue coral and the schools of fish, and the scenery was unlike anything I had ever seen.

集合時の説明も、慶良間についてからの移動もスムーズで快適でした。シュノーケリング は、本来行くところがクリアではないということで、別の無人島へのシュノーケリング に連れて行ってもらいました。珍しいと青の珊瑚に、魚の群れ、見たことない景色で感動でした。

It was a cloudy afternoon in early October, but the boat had windows that could be opened in the front and on the sides, making it comfortable. When I wanted to feel the wind, I could move to the back seat and enjoy the scenery.

The friendly captain made the experience very enjoyable. The Blue Cave was beautiful, but the scenery along the way was also magnificent and truly representative of Hokkaido.

I walked to the meeting point, but it was closer to the end of the canal than I expected, so I got a bit lost. However, I was able to confirm my location quickly by calling the captain, which was a relief.

10月初旬の曇りの午後だったのですが、ボート内は前と横に窓が開閉できて、快適にいられました。風に当たりたいときは、後ろの椅子へ移動できたので景色も満喫できます。
気さくな船長がとても楽しく盛り上げてくれました。青の洞窟も綺麗でしたが、道中の景色も北海道らしく雄大ですごく良かったです。

集合場所まで歩いて行きましたが、思ったより運河の突き当たり寄りで、ちょっと迷ってしまいましたが、船長に電話してすぐに確認がとれたのでよかったです。

The tour was conducted with a small group, and everyone participated individually! I usually feel uncomfortable, so it was a relief mentally, haha. At Oishi Bunsan, we went trekking while chatting together. At Churaumi Aquarium, some programs were temporarily closed, but it was less crowded, and we had a longer stay, so we could take our time and enjoy it thoroughly.

少人数で催行してもらえた上、全員ひとり参加！
いつも居心地悪いしてたので、気分的にも楽でしたww
大石林山では、みんなで雑談しながらのトレッキングでした。
美ら海水族館は一部休止のプログラムもありましたが、空いてた上、滞在時間も長めだったので、のんびり•じっくりできました。

I participated with a friend who isn't very fit. There were 5 participants, and we had one guide. I was worried about keeping up physically, but I was able to see the Jomon Sugi safely! Additionally, I learned a lot about the cedar trees, mountains, and islands from our guide, which made for a very satisfying experience. It was great to have other participants, as it motivated me to do my best and I enjoyed hearing various stories. Thank you very much!!

体力のない友人と2人で参加しました。参加者5名に対し、ガイドさんが1名ついてくれました。
体力的についていけるか不安でしたが、無事縄文杉を見ることができました！
また、ガイドさんだからこその杉や山、島に関することを教えてもらい大満足の時間でした。
他の参加者がいたからこそ、頑張ろうと思えたし、いろいろな話を聞けて良かったです。
ありがとうございました！！

I participated in a half-day SUP tour. They picked me up from the hotel on time, and we headed to Kabira by shared transport. During the ride, I learned various things about Ishigaki Island and delicious restaurants, which made the journey enjoyable. It was my first time doing SUP, but they provided a thorough briefing, so I was able to enjoy it without any issues. In areas with waves, they offered towing assistance, so I think even those without much stamina can participate with confidence. In the areas with high visibility, I could see the fish swimming. This time, the wind was strong, and I couldn't stand up much, so I want to join again and have a rematch! Thank you, instructor Furusawa, for the fun time. You took many wonderful photos, which became the best memories.

半日のSUPツアーに参加してきました。
時間通りにホテルにお迎えに来ていただき乗り合いで川平に向かいました。
車内では石垣島のこと、美味しいお店のことなどいろいろなことを教えていただき楽しく過ごすことができました。
SUPは初めてだったのですがきちんとレクチャーをしていただけるので問題なく楽しむことができました。途中波があるところでは牽引してもらえるので体力がない方でも安心して参加できると思います。
透明度が高いところでは泳ぐ魚の姿も見えました、今回は風が強くあまり立つことができなかったのでまた参加してリベンジしたいと思います！
インストラクターの古澤さん、楽しい時間をありがとうございました。ステキなお写真もたくさん撮っていただき最高の思い出になりました。

The number of people, the weather, and the time were all just right for the activity. I definitely want to use this service again.

人数、天気、時間
すべてがちょうどいいアクティビティでした。
また是非利用させて頂きたいと思いました。

I got lost because the navigation route was under construction, and I ended up being late for the meeting time, which caused inconvenience to my companions. However, thanks to the amazing support from the staff, we were able to proceed. Thank you very much.

It was my first time kayaking, and I had a lot of fun! The staff's jokes were great too. Even as a Kansai person, I found the puns amusing!

Going from the mangroves out to the sea for the sunset was incredibly beautiful. The waves were calm, making it perfect.

Everyone!! I highly recommend it! If you're unsure about where to go, definitely try the kayaking experience with Ease!

ナビ案内の道が工事中の為・・迷ってしまい
集合時間に遅れてしまいましたが、同行の方にご迷惑をおかけしました。
スタッフさんの神対応で実施して頂けました。
ありがとうございました。
カヤック初めてでしたが、すごく楽しめました♪
スタッフさんのザキヤマトークもよかったですｗ
関西人でもダジャレ面白かったですねｗ
マングローブからの、海に出てサンセット・・・
すごくキレイでした。
波もべたなぎで最高でした。
みなさーん！！おすすめですよー！！
どこにしようか・・・迷ってるそこのあなた！！
是非！！イーズさんのカヤック体験を！！

I participated with five friends. We received thorough guidance, and we even had a race in kayaks, which was very satisfying. I want to come back again!

友人5人で参加しました。
丁寧にガイドしていただき、カヤックでレースもしたりと、大変満足でした。またきたいとおもいます！

The day of the tour was clear and sunny, with great light shining through the water, creating the perfect conditions. The half-day tour involved a 20-minute boat ride, arriving at the snorkeling point around 2:00 PM, where we enjoyed about 2 hours and 30 minutes of fun. There was more than enough time, so we took breaks while snorkeling. Since it was October, it got a bit dark in the evening. Depending on the season, the morning might be better. The staff was friendly, and the boat was large and well-equipped, which was very nice. I would definitely like to do this again.

参加当日は快晴で、海の中まで良く光が差していて最高のコンディションでした。
半日ツアーは20分ほど船ではしり、14:00くらいにポイントに到着し、2時間30分くらい楽しめます。時間は十分すぎるくらいあるので、休憩を入れながらシュノーケリングを楽しみました。
10月でしたので、夕方は少し暗くなりました。時期によってはＡＭの方が良いかもしれません。
スタッフの方は親切で、船も大きく設備が整っていてとても良かったです。
またリピートしたいと思いました。

On the day of the tour, there were a few clouds, but we were able to see many stars that we usually can't see, and we received thorough explanations that everyone enjoyed. The meeting place was easy to find with a clear map, so we had no trouble getting there. Right after returning from Ishigaki Island, I downloaded a constellation app on my smartphone and climbed a nearby mountain to observe the stars we had learned about during the tour again. The height at which they were visible was different due to the change in latitude. Next time I visit Ishigaki Island, I will definitely sign up for the tour again.

当日は少し雲がありましたが、普段では見られないくらいの多くの星が見られしかも丁寧な解説を頂き皆楽しめました。集合場所もわかりやすい地図で迷うことなく行けました。石垣島から戻ってすぐにスマホの星座アプリを入れて実家近くの山に登り、ツアーで説明いただいた星を再度観察しました。緯度が違うので見える高さが違いましたが。次回、石垣島を訪れた際は必ず参加申し込みします。

Although it wasn't white-water rafting, I think it's a really great activity to feel nature.

However, as everyone has mentioned, you have to walk down quite a steep slope to get to the boat, so it might be difficult for small children or those with mobility issues.

Once you're on the boat, there are various ways to enjoy it, like seeing the view from above the waterfall or, for those who want, diving into the river.

I was also able to rent a dry suit, so I’m glad I had that experience too!

急流下りではなかったけど、
自然を感じれるとてもいいアクティビティだと思います。

ただ、皆さん投稿されているように、ボートに乗るまでは、かなりの斜面を歩いて降りないといけないので、小さいお子さんや、足の悪い方は難しいのでは？？と思います。

乗ってしまったら、途中滝の上からの景色を見たり、希望者は川にダイブしたりと、楽しみ方は色々あります。

ドライスーツも借りれたので、またそれもいい経験が出来てよかったです！

Mao, our guide, had a wonderful smile that made me feel so happy! The diving was also a lot of fun, and I hope to join the sea turtle tour next time!! Thank you very much!

ガイドのまおさんの笑顔がとても素敵で幸せな気持ちになりました！
ダイビングもとても楽しくて、ぜひ今度はウミガメツアーに参加できたらと思います！！
ありがとうございました！

The weather was perfect, and I had the best experience. Landing on Balas Island and seeing the Kuula Falls up close was even more moving than I had imagined from photos. Additionally, the limestone cave was exceptional, and it became a very precious memory in every way! The guide was also a really nice person. I was grateful for all the great photos he took. I definitely want to participate again!

お天気にも恵まれて最高の体験が出来ました。
バラス島に着陸できたり、クーラの滝を間近で見れたり、写真で見た以上の感動がありました。
また、鍾乳洞は格別で、全てにおいてとても貴重な思い出になりました！ガイドのお兄さんも、すごく良いかたでした。いい写真をたくさん撮って頂き、有り難かったです。また是非参加したいです！

Initially, it was a tour that included three activities in one day, including Barasu Island, but due to the impact of the waves, we were informed the day before that landing on Barasu Island would be difficult, so the plan was changed to a half-day tour with two activities: the limestone cave and mangrove SUP. Since we had already made the payment, the difference was refunded.

In the end, it was a very satisfying tour and a lot of fun memories! We enjoyed it even without Barasu Island!

The duration, guide, and equipment were all just right. Depending on the tide, it might be better to protect your calves, as it can help guard against submerged trees and rocks. (We thought it was a good idea to do so.) The photos taken were also very beautiful, so you can relax during the activities without carrying anything! Even if it's your first time SUPing, they will teach you properly. They also take good care of you along the way.

If you want to experience the nature of Iriomote, I highly recommend it!

当初、バラス島含む３つのアクティビティを1日で回るツアーでしたが、波などの影響でバラス島上陸が難しいということで前日ご連絡いただき、鍾乳洞、マングローブSUPの２つを半日で回るプランに変更。支払い済んでたので差額はキャッシュバック。
蓋を開けてみれば、大満足のツアーでとても楽しい思い出です！バラス島なしでも満喫しました！

所要時間、ガイド、装備などどれをとってもちょうどよかったです。潮位にもよると思いますがふくらはぎまで保護してた方が水中の木や岩などから守ってくれていいかもしれません。(私たちはそうしてよかったなと思いました)
写真もとても素敵に撮ってくださるので、アクティビティ中は手ぶらで安心〜！
SUP初めてでもちゃんと教えてくれます。道中のケアもしっかりされています。
西表の自然を感じたい方は是非。

I was able to experience a variety of activities in one day. The guide's explanations and descriptions of the island were clear and enjoyable. The SUP experience was my first time, but I received a thorough lecture on how to ride from the beginning. It was easy to ride in the mangroves since there were no waves. It was a different experience compared to the views from the canoe.

I think it was just a coincidence, but we had Barasu Island all to ourselves as there were no other tour groups. Waves were coming from various directions, and it was incredibly beautiful.

We couldn't snorkel at Barasu Island due to high waves, but the cave exploration we did instead was very exciting. The natural cave had a different kind of beauty and grandeur compared to the well-maintained caves.

Since Iriomote Island is quite large, I think it would be great to either book a tour that takes you to various places or stay for one or two nights to enjoy it. There are still many places I haven't been to, so I would like to go again. Thank you very much.

１日でさまざまな体験ができました。
ガイドさんの案内や、島の説明がわかりやすくて楽しかったです。
SUP体験は初めてのことでしたが乗り方等１からレクチャーしてもらいました。マングローブ内は波もないため乗りやすかったです。カヌーからの景色とはまた違った体験ができました。
バラス島はたまたまだとは思うけど他のツアーの方がおらず貸切でした。いろいろな方向から波が寄せてきてすごく綺麗でした。
バラス島でのシュノーケルは波が高くできませんでしたが、代わりに行った鍾乳洞探検はとてもわくわくしました。自然にできた鍾乳洞で整備された鍾乳洞とは違った綺麗さ、壮大さがありました。
西表島はとても大きいため様々なところに行けるツアーの申し込むか、2泊か１泊かして楽しめたらいい島だと思いました。まだまだいけていないところがあるのでまた行きたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

Instead of choosing the plan that only includes landing on Barasu Island (without snorkeling) or snorkeling at Barasu Island, I decided on the cave exploration, and it turned out to be an excellent choice beyond my expectations.

This was not a typical well-maintained tourist cave; I had a valuable experience exploring the jungle and caves in their natural state.

Additionally, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information, offering attentive service throughout the day. I highly recommend this if you're visiting Iriomote Island for the first time!

鍾乳洞探検が付く代わりに、バラス島は上陸のみ(シュノーケリング無し)のプランか、バラス島シュノーケリングか悩みましたが、鍾乳洞探検が想像以上に素晴らしく、こちらのプランにして正解でした。
観光地によくある綺麗に整備された鍾乳洞ではなく、自然の姿そのままのジャングルや洞窟を探検する貴重な体験ができました。
また、ツアーガイドの方も知識豊富で色々と教えてくださり、終日懇切丁寧な対応をいただきました。初めて西表島に行くのならとてもオススメです！

We rode in kayaks in pairs and headed towards the cave.
With the instructor, we entered the cave one pair at a time and experienced the beautiful blue water surface.
(It was different from what I had imagined, but it was beautiful.)
It was also a rare experience to see sea urchins and abalone on the way there and back.
It seems that there has been a lot of media coverage recently.
The instructor was polite and friendly, which made me feel comfortable participating.
At the end, the instructor sent photos taken during the trip to all participants via iDrop.
I think it would have been even better if they had been considerate about not sending photos of other groups, as some people may be sensitive about personal information handling these days.

3ペアでカヤックに乗り、洞窟へ向かいました。
インストラクターさんと一緒に1ペアずつ洞窟に入り、美しい青の水面を体験出来ます。
(想像していたものとは違いましたが綺麗でした)
行き帰りにウニやアワビを見られる体験も貴重でした。
TVなどの取材も最近多いようです。
インストラクターさんも丁寧で気さくな方で安心して参加できました。
最後、インストラクターさんが撮った写真をアイドロップで参加者一斉に送ってくださいます。
昨今、個人情報の取り扱いにナーバスな方もいらっしゃると思うので、他グループの写真は送らないよう配慮していただけると尚良かったかなと思いました。

Majestic nature!
Scenery you don't usually see!
It was the best!
We walked non-stop from early morning until evening, and it was much more strenuous than I expected—definitely felt more like a serious hike than a leisurely trek!
I had knee pain, which was quite challenging for me!
I absolutely recommend it for healthy and younger people!
It became a lifelong memory for both of us!

壮大な自然！
普段見れない景色！
最高でした！
朝早くから、夕方まで歩きっぱなし思ったよりアップダウンが激しくてのんびりトレッキングって感じでは無く、ガッツリ登山て感じでした！
私は膝が悪かったので、膝の痛みが大変でした！
健康な方、若い人たちには絶対おススメです！
夫婦共に一生の思い出になりました！

I participated in a half-day snorkeling tour. The large cruiser is equipped with various toys and facilities, making you feel luxurious. It also has hot showers and clean towels, which exceeded my expectations. Of course, there are plenty of fish underwater to greet you. Above all, the staff was friendly and attentive, which was impressive. I highly recommend this activity to everyone.

半日シュノーケルツアーに参加しました。
大型のクルーザーにいろいろな遊具や設備を備え付けてあり、リッチな気分にさせてくださいます。
お湯のシャワーや清潔なタオルも完備しており、期待以上と思います。
もちろん海中のお魚などもたくさんで歓迎してくれます。
なにより、スタッフがフレンドリーで丁寧に対応いただけたので感激です。
皆様にお勧めできるアクティビティです。

As mentioned in other experiences, the river flow in September is far from being a rapid; it feels more like drifting in a boat. During the descent, we unexpectedly encountered a significant amount of hot spring water being released. While it might have been intended as a surprise by the staff, I never expected to plunge into water that was either clean or dirty, released artificially from above. My high school daughter, who was sitting in the front, was knocked over to the right by the water pressure. Her GoPro camera was damaged, the selfie stick broke in half, and her iPhone, which was in a waterproof case, had its screen cracked and was ruined. The impact was strong enough to knock over a seated high school student. It was particularly shocking since she had just bought the iPhone a month ago... it was the worst. If her phone had broken while rafting in nature, I could understand, but in this case, it felt like human error. If there had been a warning about the plunge, we could have avoided the damage. It was very disappointing.

When we returned to the hotel and checked about the rafting insurance mentioned during the booking, I was informed that it only covered people, so it was not applicable for our situation. I asked if there was any compensation available, but they said there was nothing they could do. The staff on the phone was quite cold. In the end, I was even told, "You’re probably just participating at a discount as a monitor anyway." We participated on a Saturday without any monitor program, so we paid the full price... Even though it was our responsibility, the rafting cost turned out to be extremely high.

After returning home and reading more experiences, my dissatisfaction grew. We were charged 2,000 yen for photos at 500 yen per person, while another post from the same month mentioned a charge of 400 yen per person. It seems unreasonable that different amounts are charged to different people...

So, while I wrote this harsh comment, I did experience rafting and got to enjoy the great nature of Hokkaido. I hope that the rafting shop will improve and become a place where everyone can enjoy their trip and have a good experience.

To those who will participate in the future:
The place to change into clothes that can get wet is the restroom. It’s better to wear a swimsuit from the start if possible. After the activity, changing takes place in a single-person tent. Unfortunately, there are no showers. Your hair will get wet too, so bringing a towel for changing is essential. The finish line is right next to Jozankei Onsen, so booking accommodation there is convenient. For those participating after September, you will get soaked with hot spring water from above, so wearing regular clothes will be cold. I recommend renting a dry suit. Also, the path to the river is steep and slippery, making it quite difficult for older participants. I participated wearing sandals with heels, but it was deemed dangerous, so I had to change. It would be better to bring shoes that can get wet.

体験談にもあがっていましたが９月のこの時期は急流とは程遠い川の流れ。ボートで漂う感じです。下っている途中かなりの水量で放出されている温泉水に突っ込みます。スタッフのサプライズのつもりかもしれませんが、まさか人工的に上から放出されているきれいか汚いかもわからない水のところに突っ込むとは思いませんでした。一番前に座っていた高校生の娘はその水圧により右後ろにぶっ倒れました。持っていたゴープロ（カメラ）が破損、ゴープロの自撮り棒も真っ二つに折れ、防水ケースに入れていたiPhone（携帯）も画面が割れ破損しました。座っている高校生が倒れるほどの衝撃。iPhoneは一か月前に買ったところでしたのでショックも大きく…最悪でした。自然の中の川下り中に携帯が壊れたなら納得もいきますが、今回の場合は人災では？と思ってしまいました。突っ込むよとかの告知でもあれば壊れることもなかったのに。非常に残念です。
ホテルに帰りラフティングの申し込み時に、保険との記載があったため電話で確認したところ人に対する保険とのことで補償対象外。何か補償してくれませんかとお伺いしましたが、出ないものは出ませんと。電話のスタッフの対応は冷たかったです。最後には関係ないのにどうせモニターで安く参加しているんでしょとか言われる始末。自分たちはモニター実施のない土曜日参加なのでちゃんと正規の金額をお支払いしたにもかかわらず．．．。自己責任とはいえものすごい高いラフティング代になりました。
そして．．．自宅に帰り体験談を読み、また不服が増しました。写真代私たちは１人５００円の２０００円を請求されましたが、同じ月の方の投稿には１人４００円であったと。人によって請求する金額が違うのもどうかと．．．

とまあ辛口のコメントを書いたわけですが、ラフティングをして北海道の大自然にも触れあえました。いろいろ改善していってみんなが楽しんで旅行が終われるように配慮した対応のいいラフティングのショップになってくれたらと期待しています。

今後参加される方へ
ぬれてもよい服に着替える場所はトイレです。できればはじめから水着等を着ていった方がよいです。終了後の着替えは１人用簡易テント。残念ながらシャワーはありません。髪の毛まで濡れます。着替えタオルはもちろん必要です。ゴールは定山渓温泉のすぐそばなので定山渓温泉に宿をとると便利です。９月以降に参加される方は、温泉水を上からかぶりぬれてしまうので普通の服ですと寒い思いをします。ドライスーツ等を借りることをお勧めします。また、川までの道のりが急斜面で滑りやすくお年を召した方の参加はかなり難しいと思います。今回かかとのある草履で参加したのですが危ないということで履き替えが必要になりました。ぬれてもいい運動靴を持参したほうがよさそうです。

I signed up for a tour of Jomon Sugi and Shiratani Unsuikyo. Unfortunately, the tour coincided with a typhoon. Normally, I can handle about 30 km on flat ground without any issues, but the trek to Jomon Sugi involved climbing, and I caused some trouble for the guide and my fellow tour members. On the way back, I really felt like I was at the very end, but as soon as I entered the trolley path, I regained my energy and was able to walk all the way to the end. However, I didn't have enough stamina left to participate in the Shiratani tour the next day, so I had to cancel. That's why I gave it four stars, and I thought it would have been nice to have a tour with a day in between to rest.

縄文杉と白谷雲水峡のツアーに申し込みました
丁度、台風が来ていたときにツアーが当たってしまいました
普段、平地なら30km位、全然、平気なのですが縄文杉は途中から登山で、ガイドの方、同じツアーの方々にご迷惑をおかけしました
帰りは本当に最後のパティーになってしまいましたがトロッコ道に入ったとたん元気になり、最後まで歩き通せました
しかし、次の日の白谷には参加できるほど体力が残っていなかったのでキャンセルしましたので星４つとさせていただき、中1日、休めるツアーがあれば、よかったなと思いました
