Take on the wildest rapids in Japan—the mighty Yoshino River—with Smonkey’s original TATAMI Rafting!
This natural rollercoaster features continuous waves, towering water sprays, and an unbeatable adrenaline rush. Surrounded by steep cliffs, deep forests, and crystal-clear streams, the Yoshino River offers an unforgettable rafting experience.

What is TATAMI Rafting?
Originally developed for fishing by the team at Smonkey Rafting, the TATAMI is a soft, flexible watercraft—not as hard as a kayak or raft. That means you’re less likely to get bounced off by waves, making it easier and more fun, even for beginners! It’s the perfect way to reconnect with your inner child and enjoy the river safely, regardless of your age.

The tour starts from various points, tailored to your skill level. Paddle together as a team, ride the waves, and feel the exhilaration!

Led by experienced and passionate Smonkey guides, the tour includes a full safety briefing and all necessary equipment. Come with your friends or family for a river adventure like no other!
