Kochi Mysterious Gorges of Niyodo River&Crystal Kayak

Kochi
9 hours

The Niyodo River has been evaluated as the cleanest river in Japan eight times for these nine years. Especially, three gorges are the top spots to enjoy the purity of the river. They are Nakatsu Gorge, Yasui Gorge and Nikobuchi. But, I’m sorry to say that you are supposed to choose only one of them, because they are located far from each other. After you enjoy a hike through one gorge, you can experience one of the best river activities, “Crystal Kayak”.

Fantastic way to explore Tokyo

Yumi is the best. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. Her depth of knowledge about Tokyo in general, the long history of the city, the insights into culture, people and food was such a great way to explore the city and it's wonderful sights. Highly recommend.

Yumi I.

Renate san Thank you very much for your super wonderful and quick review. You two were very friendly and so nice. Today is so hot and humid, you might be really tired. I learned many information from you by talking about many things. You have walked a lot today and you must be tired. Please get enough rest and prepare for the rest of your trip in Japan. From tomorrow onwards, I hope you will enjoy your first trip to Japan in Tokyo, Hakone, Kanazawa and Kyoto or Nara and so on and make many wonderful memories. And please come back to Japan again. Thank you for everything. Yumi
