Traditional Boat Tour
River
Experience
Shingu

Experience Kumano on the river! For over 1000 years pilgrims have been making the journey to Kumano. 

The Kumano-gawa River was a vital section of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route between Kumano Hongu Taisha in Hongu, and Kumano Hayatama Taisha in Shingu. Visitors are able to journey in traditional wooden flat-bottom boats (with modern motor) as pilgrims have been doing for centuries.  This is a unique and fun way to get a river view perspective of Kumano’s spiritual landscape.

Morning     10:00 ~ 11:30

Log Rafting in Kitayama Gorge (Ikada-kudari) (Formerly Log Rafting in Dorokyo Gorge)
River
Experience
Kitayama

Log rafting anyone! Logging in the mountains of the Kii peninsula has been a major industry for centuries.  Before roads were built, logs were floated down the rivers connected as rafts.  The skills and techniques of these "logging river runners" have been preserved in the Kitayama village for over 600 years.

Now log rafts are used to transport thrill seekers through the scenic Kitayama Gorge, part of the Yoshino-Kumano National Park.  Log rafts are strictly checked for safety standards, while guests are required to wear life jackets at all times.

Have fun!
