Kitayama village, located about three hours from Osaka in Wakayama prefecture, offers tourists a chance to discover what it’s like to sail down the swift currents of Kitayama River on traditional logging rafts. For the whole time, riders stand in a line on the sturdy, long wooden rafts, clutching only the metal/wooden handles that rise from the base of the rafts. As intense as it looks to be a rider, the true cowboys on this journey are the guides. Why not give it a go!~~~#Kitayama #rafting #nature #adventure #Wakayama #Kansai #Japan #VisitJapan
