Mt. Fuji Canyoning & Stream Climbing Tour
Family-Friendly Adventure, Easy to Reach from Tokyo
Water Adventure in Shizuoka, Just a Short Trip from Tokyo
Cool down your hot days with crystal-clear spring water straight from Mt. Fuji. Climb small waterfalls, splash in streams, and reconnect with nature in this refreshing outdoor adventure for all ages.
Introduction
Shower climbing (Stream Climbing), or sawanobori, is a uniquely Japanese adventure activity where you immerse yourself in nature by climbing up mountain streams.
Unlike typical canyoning, which focuses only on descending waterfalls, chill outdoor offers a blend of both ascent and descent—climbing gentle cascades, walking through flowing water, and sometimes sliding or jumping down small waterfalls.
The cold, clear spring water at the foot of Mt. Fuji is perfect for cooling off on a hot day or for anyone seeking a refreshing water adventure.
Highlights
•🗻 Cool Down in the Pure Waters of Mt. Fuji’s Foothills
• 🌊 Climb, Slide, and Splash in Natural Terrain
• 🍀 Wellness Adventure for All Ages
• 👪 Free Photo Service to Capture Your Moments
• 🗼 Easy Day Trip from Tokyo to Nature’s Paradise
What Makes This Tour Special
At chill outdoor, our tours focus not on adrenaline-pumping thrills but on a wellness adventure that balances mind and body.
Step by step through cool streams, breathe in the forest air, and gently climb waterfalls. You’ll find yourself syncing with nature’s rhythm.
And because this experience is safe and accessible, it’s perfect for families, couples, and first-timers alike.
Why Choose This Tour?
In Japan, mountains and rivers are seen not just as beautiful scenery, but as living spirits. This tour offers more than just summer fun—it’s a mindful way to reconnect with yourself and nature.
It’s a refreshing experience for both families and adults seeking a peaceful escape. Children who are at least 8 years old (equivalent to third grade in Japan) can join our group tours with a guardian. If your child is younger, please contact us for private tour options.

Tour Availability

However, please note that if water levels are too low in April, we may not be able to operate the tour safely.
Tour Cancellation by Operator
The tour runs even in the rain.
Shower climbing and canyoning are river-based activities—you’ll get wet whether it’s sunny or rainy! In fact, rain brings out unique sights, scents, and moods of the forest that can make the experience even more special.
That said, in the case of heavy rainfall that causes the river to reach dangerous levels (or if there’s a high risk of doing so), the tour will be canceled for safety reasons.
In recent years, due to the impact of climate change, our region has seen an increase in sudden and intense downpours. As a result, we may have to make last-minute decisions on the day of the tour—such as cancellations, shortened durations, or ending the tour early.
We appreciate your understanding as we prioritize your safety above all else.
If a cancellation is made in advance due to weather conditions, we will offer alternative options such as switching to another tour or rescheduling for a different date.
In the case of cancellation due to weather, you will receive a full refund.
Cancellation Policy
After your booking is confirmed, cancellations made for personal reasons will be subject to the following cancellation fees:
• 7 to 3 days before the tour date: 30% of the total fee
• 2 days to 1 day before the tour date: 50% of the total fee
• On the day of the tour: 100% of the total fee
If you arrive 15 minutes or more late on the day of the tour, it will be considered a no-show and treated as a cancellation.
To ensure a smooth experience for all participants, we prioritize those who arrive on time. Thank you for your understanding.
※ If there are no other bookings in the same time slot, we may be able to adjust the tour (such as shortening the duration) instead of canceling—please consult with us in advance.
