From Japan's central 3000m peaks to the coast by rope and packrafts.
Descending Japan's highest flowing waterway, this is the trip through the rarely explored mountains, cutting past Mt Fuji along the country's fastest river. From the alpine ascent then a 2000m drop through remote canyons with dozens of rappels, followed by 5 days of grade iii river. This is the japan almost no outsiders have seen.

This was a self-supported 10 day trip over a mountain and down the canyons into the river to the ocean. I had witnessed one of the most beautiful sunrises I had ever seen in Japan on the top of the mountain. The river was interesting, long periods of cruising, with good rapids that we were able to run with packrafts. We were able to pull this off with minimal problems due to strong logistics and good weather. I would do it again.
