Review for: Snow Viewing Rafting Experience

Guide was Kiysoe. A tough ride for him as the raft was unusually full that day. He jumped into the water a couple of times so that we avoided the low hanging tree branches. Saw deer, ducks, eagles and dead salmon bodies along the stream.

Review for: Snow Viewing Rafting Experience

The weather was very good that day, but it was still very cold on the water. At first, I went to the wrong gathering place and couldn't find it. I was in a panic and didn't know how to contact the receptionist. Fortunately, the person who arrived at the location was still there, so I successfully completed the trip.

Review for: Snow Viewing Rafting Experience

The river water is clear and you can see the bottom. The guide is friendly and humorous. It's a good experience. Unfortunately, the weather is a bit hot. There is no snow on the trees, but it won't be too cold.

A very special experience. The water of the Chitose River is calm and clear, and salmon carcasses can be seen underneath.
