Canyoning in the Nametoko Gorge
Jump, slide, splash and swim through the Nametoko Gorge – an exciting (and tiring!) way to appreciate the beauty of the Shikoku countryside.
A great way to experience the unspoiled scenery of the Shimanto River is try canyoning. InsideJapan can arrange for you to spend a few hours canyoning at the spectacular Nametoko Gorge, 30 minutes driver from Ekawasaki. Accompanied by expert instructors, you'll learn the art of canyoning: climbing up and sliding down bedrock stone canyons washed along by free flowing water; exhilarating fun! You will need to bring your own swim wear and some shoes (trainers/sneakers) that you do not mind getting wet. Wetsuits, helmets and other necessary gear are all provided.
