Destination Gunma

JR are pushing Gunma as their destination of choice at the moment with posters up in stations across Japan. One of the aspects they have focused on is the outdoor sports that have made the town of Minakami famous.

Canyoning is one of the most popular summer sports and in the heat of summer jumping in a cooling river is absolute bliss. Canyoning is heaps of fun and with the abundance of river in Minakami there are lots of courses, so you are sure to find one that fits your required thrill level. Kids especially get a real kick out of it.
