Whitewater Rafting
HappyRaft has two great whitewater rafting adventures to choose from. While the half-day Oboke trip offers a great introduction to rafting, the full-day Koboke trip is truly a world-class rafting run, and our most popular tour.
The wildest and most beautiful whitewater river in the country, no other river can offer the degree of challenge and consistently high flows that the Yoshino River provides. Enjoy spectacular wilderness scenery with one of our drenching, whitewater rafting adventures, as our guides show you why the Yoshino River is rated as the No. 1 whitewater rafting destination in Japan.
This is our premier tour and a must-do for adventure-lovers. There is no better way to refresh, relax and immerse yourself in the beauty of the river. The Koboke section stands above all other rafting trips offered in Japan. HappyRaft will ensure your day is safe and memorable.
The Koboke is the big one! Japan’s ultimate white-water rafting adventure. The Koboke One-Day Trip boasts big challenging grade 4 rapids, breath-taking scenery, crystal-clear pools and includes a scrumptious riverside picnic lunch. All the ingredients for an incredible river adventure.

The Oboke half-day tour is perfectly suited for first-time adventurers or those wanting to cram more into their Shikoku adventure.
The tour begins at Toyonaga where it’s straight into the action. Big rapids are interspersed with crystal clear pools as the river winds its way through the Yoshino valley down to our base at Iwahara.
