A new challenge on the Yoshino River!

Our guest came to try kayaking on the Yoshino River, but with low water levels, we made a change of plan.

We chose a section one grade higher than originally planned and switched from a kayak to a packraft to better suit the river conditions.

Packrafts offer a different paddling experience, and their design can provide greater stability in certain conditions. Choosing the right boat for the river is an important part of whitewater paddling.

And the highlight of the day? Taking on Class II rapids for the first time!

There’s nothing quite like experiencing moving water, reading the river, and discovering what you’re capable of.

Congratulations on your first Class II run!
