Only in the spring! Let's raft on the Toyohira River of Jozankei, where the melting snow from the mountains gives the current a boost. In Hokkaido, Niseko is famous for rafting, but there are other famous spots in Jozankei, about 50 minutes from the center of Sapporo. The surrounding nature is abundant, and rafting through the rich forest with splashing water is truly exhilarating!
This plan includes an admission ticket to the popular North Safari Zoo! And a one-day pass to KOGANEYU hot springs, so after rafting, you can relax in the hot springs and then head to North Safari!
