After meeting up with a local guide at Ichinoseki Station, the first event on the tour is trying out traditional rice cakes in Ichinoseki. You'll get to pound the rice with a big wooden mallet to help make the rice cakes. When rice cake making is over, we'll go out to enjoy the local cuisine for lunch, which goes well with the rice cakes. When lunch is finished, we'll move on to Geibikei with the guide. On your way, you'll have a good time listening to the guide about Ichinoseki history and facts, and engaging in friendly conversation. In Geibikei, you'll be surrounded by superb scenery while taking a 90 minute river rafting trip. Afterward we will return to Ichinoseki with the guide, and the tour will end there.
