Tokyo River Sledging
Japan 1 day ex Tokyo
River sledging (also known as hydrospeed or river boarding) is a new sport that is a close cousin of white
water rafting but instead of a raft you have a modified body board/sled which provides flotation as you go
head to head with the river. Swimming along wearing fins and steering with your own body weight, this is
white water adventure as you've never before experienced!.
So how difficult is it? If you're comfortable in the water you can sledge. And if you want a serious adrenalin
rush there's nothing like going through rapids with your nose inches from the surface of the water!
The Tone (pronounced toh-neh) River is the second longest in Japan and was both a valuable transport
corridor and a flood threat. It's course has been dramatically altered over history and in the Spring the snow
melt from the surrounding mountains make this one of the most accessible and exciting white water in the
Kanto area.
