I went to the upper reaches of the Yura River with the girls who try Packraft for the first time. “Ashiu Road Park” is located in the place where the sharp curve meander of the river. There is a toilet next to the large parking lot. From there you can take the stairs down to the Karato Valley, which is surrounded by clear river water and deep forest.
We went down stairs, and we found a place with a gentle flow that even beginners of can row packraft (please note that the water level and the strength of the flow will change depending on the weather of the day). Rocks of various sizes were lying around. We went up and down the stremas many times. It’s fun to float on the river in a clear emerald green water that can be seen to the bottom of the river. We had a very luxurious time. It’s a very basic manner but I specify just in case; according to the locals, it seems that some people leave garbage behind! Please double check before you leave.

パックラフト初めての女子達を連れて由良川の上流に行ってきました。由良川の急カーブ蛇行が目前に広がる場所に「芦生ロードパーク」があります。広い駐車場の横にはお手洗いが整備されていて、ここから澄んだ川の水と深い森林に囲まれた唐戸渓谷へ階段で降りていくことができます。
階段を降りたところにパックラフト初心者でも安全に遊べる流れの緩やかな場所を見つけました(その日の天候で水位や流れの強さ等状況が変わりますのでご注意ください)。大小さまざまな巨石がごろごろ。巨石に波しぶきをたたきつけ流れる清流の心地よい音。ゆる~い瀬を何度も上がったり下ったり。川底まで見える透き通ったエメラルドグリーンの川に浮く幸せ。とても贅沢な時間を過ごせました。当たり前の話ではありますが念のために明記;地元の方の話では、ゴミを残して帰る人がいるようです!出発時に時にゴミがないか再チェック、くれぐれもお気を付け下さい。
