Local Pick
Overview
Paddle Japan's last undammed river through pristine gorges, under chinkabashi submersible bridges.
The Shimanto River, often called Japan's last clear stream, offers exceptional canoeing through a landscape free of dams and concrete embankments. Guided half-day trips pass under the famous chinkabashi (submersible bridges designed to let floods pass over them) through crystal-clear water where you can see the riverbed 3m below.
Local tips
Book with Shimanto Gakuyusha guides. They know the calmest stretches for beginners and the rapids for thrill-seekers.
