Impressions of Tokushima Raft
Nicknamed "Mitsuki-san" enjoyed Tokushima Yoshino River Adrenaline Rafting .
She was participated with her friends in June. It was her first rafting, so she was nervous because Yoshino River has the biggest torrents in Japan. With the members of my group was the first experience, but our tour guide made us relaxed.
Our tour guide was Nepali. he could speak Japanese well. He said a gag in Japanese! We did some activities.
All the torrents were so excited!
After rafting, we went to Hot Spa and Udon(Japanese noodles) shop, the guide Joe recommended. Thanks for the recommendations, we had a wonderful time in Tokushima.
That was my first rafting, but I am really into rafting now! I want to try Full-day Rafting next time! I hope I will come back soon.
