日本三大急流の一つ
九州のパドラー天国
行程約１１キロ
九州山地の宮崎県境の水源より八代までの全長約１１５km。 人吉盆地を穏やかに貫流した流れが、この区間に入ると一気に川幅が狭まりパワーのあるホワイトウォーター （急流）となることから九州随一のパドリングエリアになっている。
年間を通じて水量が安定し、観光遊船「球磨川下り」が運行されているので、 増水時を除けばヤバイ所もなく安全。

One of the three fastest streams in Japan
Paddler’s paradise in Kyushu
Course distance : about 11 Km
The river is 115 km long in total from its source in the Kyushu mountains to the Yashiro Sea. After running gently through the Hitoyosi basin, the river turns to powerful white-water by running down to this much narrower area, attracting paddlers as the prime paddling destination in Kyushu.
The water volume of the river is stable throughout the year, and there is also a turist attraction, Kumagawa Boat Tour, so it is quite safe area without dangerous spots except flooded seasons.

One of the major rapid streams in Japan.
Paddler Paradise in Kyushu.
About 11 kilometers' distance.
It is about 115 kilometers from a reservoir at the border of Kyushu mountain district and Miyazaki prefecture to Yatsushiro city. The stream which runs through Hitoyoshi Basin peacefully narrows at once in this district and becomes a powerful whitewater (rapid flowing). This is why it is the best paddling area in Kyushu.
The volume of water is stable all year round and a sightseeing boat, "Kumagawa-kudari" runs there, so there is no dangerous place except when the water is swollen. It is pretty safe.

One of the three most rapid current river
Heaven of paddler in the Kyushu district
The way is 11km
Whole way is 115km from head of a river of Miyazaki prefectural boundary in the Kyushu mountain range to Yahiro. The current runs calmly through Hitoyoshi basin but when it enters this area, it becomes so narrow and be white water (rapid current) with great power. So it is greatest paddling area.
The amount of water is steady and even sightseeing boat, "Kuma river descending", is operated in the river so it is safe if it is excluded when the water rise.
