The Daitoku-Sawa Gorge is a relatively unknown river gorge with multiple short waterfalls which are great for getting an introduction to shower climbing. There are great narrow sections throughout the gorge, giving you a serious feeling of adventure and remoteness. Most of the falls in this gorge are 2~3 meters and we will only use a rope for the large waterfalls near the end.  You do not need to be a confident swimmer to join in this trip as there are no deep sections, or the pools can be easily walked around if you are not comfortable.
​
You will get wet on this trip. 

After arriving at the start of the gorge, we will outfit all of the participants with equipment including traditional Japanese grass sandals and Tabi shoes, and prepare to start up the creek. The grass sandals provide excellent traction on wet and mossy rocks, and you will be surprised out how great the traction is.  At the end of the gorge we will reach the source of the creek and continue all the way to the summit of Daitoku-yama. 

To finish off the day, we'll head out to an onsen to warm up after spending the day in the cool creek.
