Jozankei is surrounded by valleys and rich woodlands even though it is within the city of Sapporo. It is a popular hot spring resort for its deep green foliage and refreshing breezes in summer, and for its autumn foliage, when the mountains turn golden and vermilion in the fall. Climb into a stable Canadian canoe and feel the sounds of birds and the rushing river in places where you would normally not set foot while passing through the valley.
The average depth of the river is about 1 meter with a gentle current. Guides will provide instructions, so first-timers are welcome to join.
