Minakami (Gunma Prefecture) - May 4-5

What a great end to Golden Week!  Going solo, I headed up to an operation called Canyons which offers a variety of outdoor sports activities.  On the first day, I tried the river rafting and canyoning...Rafting was fun, but pretty mild compared to my experience on the Tully river in Cairns last year.  But canyoning was a real hoot!  Easiest way to describe this sport is river rafting without the raft.  On the second day I took in a morning mountain bike ride with MTB Japan (no pics).  Good easy run but now I am ready for more :).
