Climb to adventure up a clear-flowing stream at the foot of Mt. Hiba! Shower climbing is a refreshing activity that almost anyone can enjoy. This exhilarating experience is an easy form of canyoneering that takes participants up burbling brooks, over rushing falls, and through verdant forest. It's a great way to refresh yourself body and mind in the great outdoors.

The Highlight
Plan includes lunch featuring the elusive "Hibagon Musubi" rice ball (a local specialty). The massive 1 go (150 g) rice ball cradles a 50-year-old umeboshi pickled plum inside. (Umeboshi can stay good for decades.) It has a unique flavor you won't find anywhere else! Enjoy this legendary taste on the bank of a cool stream in this ancient mythical forest.
