Things To Do In Minakami

Through all four seasons Minakami offers something for everyone looking to escape the stresses of their everyday lives and get away from the city - just decide if you want to speed things up or slow things down –

For the more adventurous the options are endless – raft the rapids of the Tone river in the high water of spring, challenge yourself with a leap from Japan’s only bridge bungy jump in summer, or carefully negotiate your way through the trees on fresh untouched powder snow in winter.

For those who prefer to take life a little slower the breathtaking views from the top of the Mt. Tanigawa ropeway on a blue sky day in autumn, a canoe trip along the secluded banks of Lake Okutone or unlocking your creative side at the Takumi no Sato Craft Village are great ways to leave the stress of big city living behind and are all easily accessible from the Minakami train station.

Whether on a day trip or staying for the weekend there is plenty to do and, at the end of the day, soaking in one of the many outdoor onsen is still the perfect way to complete your Minakami experience.
