This time, we had a man, nickname is Shige-san. He enjoyed white water rafting on the Tamagawa River near Mitake, Okutama.
I was looking for a place to play nearby and Okutama Rafting came up, so I booked it.
First of all, I had no idea that there was such a place full of nature in Tokyo, so I was excited to see the scenery of Okutama. On the other hand, it was my first time to go rafting, so I was nervous before we started.
Once the rafting started, I forgot about my nerves and enjoyed myself as if I was a boy again. We got along well with the other group members who were in the same boat with us and had a lot of fun! It was great not only to paddle but also to play various games on the boat, such as playing sea otter pose and playing with the boat!
It was my first time to dive, so I took on the challenge! I was a little scared, but a boy who was younger than me jumped in without a moment’s hesitation, so I jumped in as well! It was my first time to dive, so it was a lot of fun! I didn’t expect to be able to dive during the rafting trip, so I was very satisfied!
It was great that everyone in the boat worked together to paddle, and the sense of satisfaction we felt when we reached the goal was something we don’t get to experience very often! It was also great to be able to feel the nature of Okutama with my whole body! I would love to do it again!
