What to expect
Jozankei is surrounded by mountains, boasts abundant natural resources, and is located close to Sapporo, Hokkaido's most bustling city, making it a tranquil hot spring village away from the urban hustle.
This activity is a kayaking experience spanning approximately 1 kilometer. The summer forests and refreshing breezes, along with the vibrant autumn foliage, make it a very popular tourist destination. Paddle a large kayak through the canyon, listen to the birdsong and the gurgling of the stream, and explore places usually inaccessible.
The average depth of the river in the activity area is about 1 meter, and the current is slow. With a guide providing explanations, even first-time participants can join with peace of mind.

Reviews
Awesome experience! There are many tour leaders who will follow you and introduce you, so don’t worry if you don’t know how to paddle! The scenery is really great, and the tour leaders are also very kind and will help take photos and chat! The only thing is that it is a bit expensive, but a good memory!
Jozankei canoe activities are fun for both adults and children. The staff may accompany you. The stream is cold and the riverbed is shallow. The staff will remind you to get off the boat to take pictures and play in the water! Give it a try if you have a chance
This was top tier! Our guide Bish was so welcoming, knowledgeable, and could speak English and Japanese. He made our experience so enjoyable! Highly recommended! Would recommend getting a rental car because the taxi ride was expensive from the city and the bus ride back was loooooong. You can swim in two spots! Highly recommend the cold plunge and jumping off the rock and get your cameras ready! Also bring tabis or reef walkers if you have them. Great experience 10/10!!
Canoe Experience: My first time canoeing in Jozankei was incredibly relaxing. Surrounded by quiet forests, the river water was so clear you could see the bottom, and paddling was more stable than I expected. The guide was very friendly and taught us carefully, so even without experience, I wasn't nervous. It's really beautiful when the weather is good, and I felt like it was worth every penny.
The activities were very fun, and the team leaders and coaches were friendly, friendly and professional. The environment is beautiful and you can see the red leaves. The water is clear. Really enjoyed the event and highly recommend it.
the tour was great . my family and I enjoyed very much. the scenery was beautiful and the guide who assisted us on the canoe was very helpful and friendly. enjoyed very much
Great trip, and the instructor was very professional! Highly recommended. Canoe experience: Absolutely wonderful!
It’s a great experience. The English tour guide’s explanations and demonstrations are very clear, and his photography skills are also good. The beautiful scenery you can feel on the boat is different from what you see on the road. It is a trip that I would like to do again.
It's so beautiful! Jozankei in autumn is like a scene from a postcard. Rowing on the stream, listening quietly to the sounds of autumn, and the crystal-clear water, it's just stunning. The staff provided thorough safety instructions and accompanied us to ensure everyone's safety. I highly recommend this trip!
The canoe experience was a truly exciting experience. The scenery was great and I was able to learn canoeing. However, it can be more fun if you learn some English. I highly recommend it. It's good value for money and it's very flavorful. Hwawuuq
