Minakami is one of the top destinations in the whole of Japan for outdoor adventure activities. This small little mountain township is home to rafting, canyoning, paragliding, bungy jumping, mountain biking, canoeing and lake sailing operators who have flocked to the surrounding lakes, rivers and mountains. Once a year in early autumn they all get together and host a big event to push their little outdoor paradise.
This year it is the 10th outing for the Minakami Adventure Festival. There is loads going on. All the operators offer special prices to visitors to try their activities. There is a central festival area in Yubiso Park with food stalls and shops. Many big brand names bring up stock and sell it off at cheap prices to the gathered outdoor enthusiasts. There are also some special events such as a trail run, adventure race and rafting race.
It is always a great weekend, so if Minakami is on your list of places to visit, the weekend of September 29/30 is the ideal opportunity.
