Canoeing is a very popular activity that even beginners and children can enjoy relatively easily if they receive an instructor's lecture. You can enjoy a pleasant cruising experience as if you were sliding on the surface of the water.

After enjoying a canoe cruising experience with a spectacular view of the Shirakawa Dam lake submerged forest, enjoy lunch at "Yonezawa beef and local fresh vegetable barbecue". The outdoor food you eat in the wilderness is excellent ☆☆☆

After enjoying an exquisite barbecue lunch, stroll through the beech meditation forest on the shores of Lake Shirakawa. Meditate for about 10 minutes in a forest full of negative ions. The end of this tour is a calm and calm end to the spectacular tour.

Review / word-of-mouth experience

Introducing reviews and word-of-mouth experiences from guests that were experienced at the time of 2019.

It was great! !!
I used it during Golden Week with my husband. (Sorry for posting now) The scenery, the support of the instructors, and the delicious Yonezawa beef were all the best! I still occasionally remember the scenery I saw that day. Healing effect, lasting. You can see the submerged forest from the shore, but I think you should definitely ride a canoe! He taught me how to row a canoe very carefully, and even I, who is not good at it, was quite good (?). Also, there seemed to be various plans for seasonal activities, and I felt that I would like to visit them in autumn and winter. Self-indulgence? They respond to small requests that seem to be like that, and value the interests of users over their own interests ... (Hint: Meat). I was deeply grateful for that attitude. Also thank you. Thank you very much!

I'm just grateful!
Thank you for participating in the tour! Thanks to the kind consideration and polite response, the long-awaited trip became a great memory. I would like to build physical strength with my father so that I can participate next year as well. I look forward to working with you next year! !! !!

Both canoe and BBQ are very satisfied!
I tried canoeing for the first time this time. At first I was worried, but the instructor kindly and politely taught me from the beginning to the end, so even I, who was new to me and had no motor skills, was able to experience canoeing comfortably. Also, the location of "Shirakawa Dam Lake" was more wonderful than I had imagined, so it feels like 1 hour and 30 minutes have passed in no time. Yonezawa beef BBQ after canoeing is also exceptional! I heard that it is a valuable experience that can only be done at this time in a year, so I would like to participate again next year!

The best canoe, the best Yonezawa beef
I think it's a canoe for beginners. There are no waves or currents. I had a very gentle and gentle canoeing experience. Yonezawa beef BBQ was also delicious by the lake.

Even beginners could enjoy it.
It was my first experience with canoeing, but I enjoyed it very much. It was raining badly, but as a result, I was able to see a fantastic view. The instructor will give easy-to-understand guidance to beginners, and will take care to fully enjoy even if a small number of people participate, such as speaking out and taking pictures during canoeing. This is a highly recommended activity. On the other hand, since the meeting place, rental equipment, dressing room, bath, etc. are not specified, it was necessary to ask questions in advance several times. I think this is an improvement point. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

This time, with the cooperation of HIS Group Activity Japan, Iide Town will disseminate the charm of our town, where we were born and raised, to all over Japan and the world with the aim of discovering and revitalizing tourism resources that sleep in the area.

Iide Town is a town blessed with abundant water sources and forests, surrounded by the bosom of the Iide Mountain Range, one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan. Good quality rice is produced from fertile cultivated land, and the beauty of each season colors the town. When the snow in Honmachi, which is also a heavy snowfall area with a snowfall of 3m, begins to melt, the "submerged forest of Shirakawa dam lake" that can only be seen for one month appears. A fresh green willow that appears on the surface of the water. You can also enjoy canoeing in the mysterious scenery. Please come and visit Iide Town (please come).
