Make your Niseko rafting debut with GOOD SPORTS this summer!
The Shiribetsu River is ranked as one of the clearest rivers.
In summer, the river is especially clear. You can even see fish swimming at the bottom.
Kids Rafting course is slower and gentler than regular rafting and is great for all ages. From 3 years old to the elderly, this tour can be enjoyed by the entire family.
Be assured that our expert guide will be with you during the entire rafting and river fun.
For those coming directly to our Niseko Good Sports shop, please come to our shop 15 minutes prior to start of your tour. Please prepare clothing (jerseys, etc.) and use the restroom before the start time. (To change clothes on site, please allow extra time.)
You will put on a dry suit (spring・autumn/fall), life jacket, river shoes and a helmet.
A commemorative photo of all participants will be taken before the start.
