A great adventure on a clear stream just an hour from the center of Hiroshima city. As you swim upstream in the river, you can climb waterfalls, go on thrilling slides, and dive into the pool of a waterfall. An extraordinary experience awaits. You're sure to discover a new side of yourself!

As part of our efforts to make Hiroshima the "Water City," we are developing open-air cafes on the waterfront of Kyobashi River and Motoyasu River.

There are many shops where you can drop in for lunch, tea time, or dinner.
