More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a shaded granite bowl where the Meguro River chisels a narrow route through Shikoku's southwestern slopes. Cold water threads between boulders, and a series of natural slides and plunge pools mark the line the guides set for the day. The air smells of wet stone and cedar; the river pushes you forward, daring small jumps and guiding controlled slides toward a final, dramatic drop.

Wear non-slip footwear
Even though canyoning shoes are provided, bring a snug pair of quick-dry socks to prevent blisters and improve grip on wet granite.
Hydrate before you start
Carry a small hydration bladder or bottle—exercise in cold water still depletes salts and energy; sip regularly during breaks.
Protect electronics
Use a waterproof case or disposable camera; phones and cameras can be ruined by drops or plunges in pools.
Listen to your guide
Guides select lines and detours based on river flow and group ability—follow instructions for safer jumps and slider use.
Waterproof phone case or action camera
Protects electronics from drops and splashes while capturing slides and scenery.
