Looking for canyoning or outdoor activities in Miyazaki?

PATHFINDER ACTIVITY runs guided shower climbing (river trekking up clear mountain streams) in Hyuga and Tsuno, about 1 hour by car from Miyazaki City. It is a form of canyoning that uses no ropes or abseiling, so first-timers and less confident swimmers can enjoy it safely with our guides.

Q. Can I go canyoning in Miyazaki?
Yes. In the clear streams of Hyuga and Tsuno, Miyazaki, you can join a guided shower climbing (river trekking) tour, a form of canyoning. You walk and climb up the stream through the spray. We never go where ropes or abseiling are needed, so first-timers are welcome.
Q. How far is it from Miyazaki City?
About 1 hour by car from central Miyazaki City. The Hyuga course meets in Mimitsu, Hyuga City, and the Osuzu course at the Osuzu campsite entrance in Tsuno Town, both at 9:00.
Q. How is it different from typical canyoning?
Typical canyoning goes down the stream and often includes abseiling on ropes. Ours is shower-climbing-style canyoning that goes up the stream. There are jumps, but we never go where ropes or abseiling are needed — so first-timers and less confident swimmers can join.
Q. How much is it and how long does it take?
About 3 hours. ¥10,000 per person when the day has 4 or more participants in total, or ¥13,000 per person for 2–3. Prices include tax, rental of helmet, life jacket, wetsuit and shoes, and insurance.
Q. When can I join?
Season — Osuzu Course: Apr–Sep, Hyuga Course: Jul–Sep. Online booking closes 2 days before the tour; for the day before or the same day, please call +81 90-4773-2435.
Q. Can I join if I can't swim?
Yes. You wear a life jacket, so you will float even if you can't swim. A guide trained in swiftwater rescue is always with you, and we only take routes checked for safety in advance.
Q. What is the minimum age, and what should I bring?
Participants must be 13 or older, and bookings are for 2 people or more. Just bring a swimsuit and a towel — we lend all the gear.
Q. What happens if it rains?
Unless severe weather is obvious in advance, we decide on the morning of the tour. If cancelled, we call you and there is no charge.
