The Montain Bike and Rafting week end is one of the activity I enjoyed the most 2 years ago, and I was quite excited to experience it once more. First day was the Montain Bike trip, unfortunatly too much japanized. The trip was a bit too short, and the instructor was spending his time showing how to turn right and left and so on &#8230; We enjoyed the short moments anyway. The next day, Rafting was just great, much better than 2 years ago. The trip was long and a bit risky ( remenber we almost die, falling in the 6degrees water, when we flipped the raft.;-)).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"030510_minakami_thumbs_0022.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fgautron.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/030510_minakami_thumbs_0022.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" \/><br \/>\nIf you happen to go there, don&rsquo;t miss the rafting of course, but also a really nice (probably the best I went to) onsen: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.outdoorjapan.com\/features\/ojfeature-takaragawa.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Takaragawa Onsen<\/a>. It&rsquo;s a mixte one, composed of 2 parts splited by the river. Like other people here, I am sure I could spend the whole day there, admiring the flow of the river and the surronding montains. Also, It&rsquo;s the first time I could touch and play with baby bears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week end with Santa Belgica, in Gunma Ken, around Minakami&#8230; As usual, week end was perfectly organized by Bernard and Jan.
