Mitake gorge which is located upstream of Tama river. Riding on a rubber boat, rafting is prevalent in this mountain stream. The flow of the river is fast, the Tama river with many rocky skin encounters a small danger, adventure awaits. The leader manipulating the boat was instructing the wield of the paddle in a loud voice to protect the boat from danger. This was very impressive.

Hi @shigeo ,
Wow, this is awesome! I can see the sheer enjoyment of the participants, so thanks for sharing this great photo! I’m not much of an adventure sports enthusiast, but this summer, I will try rafting for the first time. 
Did you actually join in or were you taking the photos on the sidelines?

Hi (^o^)丿
I took this image on the riverside. I multiply voiced with the people aboard the boat and waved to them and greeted them.
I used to have the same rafting boat in once upon a time. In my country, it was a time when rafting did not go fashionable.That is when my child is ten years old. I enjoyed playing in the Tama river with my children.
The children grew bigger, and I have became old enough to can’t be adventurous now. But I like traveling so I am going to various places.

Hi ( ^^) _F~~
This river is a perfect place for boating.
It is a nice place for those who like boats.
Also, athletes participating in the Olympic Games on the same river, which is a little far away, are also practicing canoes.
