35 Only in Shimanto-- A Canoe Experience in Japan’s Clearest Waters
Watch the many low-water crossings dotting the gently rolling Shimanto River as you row along in your canoe. The absence of man-made objects in the vicinity lets you feel as though you are one with this vast wilderness. Find a campsite, bungalows, and other accommodations near the river at Kawarakko, then explore nature as you go downriver in a canoe or float raft for an unforgettable experience that can only be had in Shimanto.
