We love Yoshino River
川Our staff, who love the river, will take you to the Yoshino River in a fun and safe way.
The Yoshino River, where the World Rafting Championships were held, is one of the top quality rivers in the world. The experience of our guides, who have seen rivers all over the world, and the satisfaction we receive from our customers both in Japan and overseas, can confirm this. We love the Yoshino River and are happy to be able to work in such a wonderful place. In order to conduct tours safely, guides are required to have a high level of skills, experience, knowledge, awareness, and teamwork. This is what makes HappyRaft's policy of “having fun together with our customers" possible. For us, it may be an ordinary day, but for our customers who have been looking forward to it for days, it is a special day. We believe that it is our role to remember this and make each day's tour a special and wonderful day for our customers, which will lead to their biggest smile.
