At HappyRaft base you have 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 their most popular tour. Koboke is Japan´s must-do for adventure-lovers. It is a great way to refresh, relax and immerse yourself in the beauty of the river. It boasts big challenging grade 4 rapids, breath-taking scenery, crystal-clear pools and includes all the ingredients for an incredible river adventure.

The Happy Raft base is located on a beautiful bend of the Yoshino River at Iwahara, Ootoyo-cho, right in the the middle of Shikoku, just inside Kochi-ken, maybe 2 minutes drive upstream from the border with Tokushima-ken. A train station, JR Tosa-Iwahara, is right next door, so it’s easy to reach it by train. If you’re driving, it takes around 4 hours from Osaka, 3 hours from Kobe, or 2 hours from Okayama or Tokushima city. The base is a great place to hang out, picnic, barbeque or camp, so you can really make a trip of it when you come down for some rafting or canyoning. Guides are fully-licensed, internationally-experienced professionals whose training ensures your day will be safe and fun.

The wildest and probably the most beautiful whitewater river in Japan, 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 drenching, whitewater rafting adventures.
