What you will do
The representative outdoor activity of Niseko is rafting down the Shiribetsu River at the foot of Mt. Yotei on a rubber boat! This is an outdoor activity that you should try at least once during your trip to Hokkaido. Even families with children can enjoy it.
In spring (Apr-May), the snow melts and the amount of water increases, so we will go down the spring-limited course. The water is still cold, but very exciting!
In June, when the water level of the river is low, it will be a summer course. The river going down is the same, but the starting and finishing points are different. The summer course is full of river activities! Jump in from a boat or enjoy the scenery from the river.
Enjoy from April to October! Children 12 and under can participate from June to October.
