Fuji at Lake Saiko is the most beautiful! "PM plan" 120 minutes to 180 minutes Please choose from the above. Real Jungle Cruise! A special kayaking that can only be experienced at Lake Shoji, where you can go through the shapes created by nature. There are seas, rivers, and lakes all over Japan, but there is a water walk that you can experience only here. With the big Mt. Fuji in front of you and the background behind you, kayaking slowly on the surface of a quiet lake... Even if you can't see Mt. Fuji because of clouds, you can enjoy the mysterious nature created by Mt. can do. It is the highlight of the guide's skill to show it. Enjoy the scenery that can only be seen from the top of the lake and the sensations you can't usually experience! What is Lake Shoji? Lake Shoji is the smallest and distorted lake among the five lakes of Mt.Fuji. You will be shown the power of Mt. Fuji, and the guide will show you its secrets. On the way, we landed on the sea of trees on the opposite shore. By then you will be an adventurer! In the calm area of the lake, you can relax like taking a nap, which is unique to Lake Shoji.

Kayak through a lake maze with an outstanding sense of adventure

Ancestor Jungle Cruise. You are the captain! We will proceed to sew the gap of the lava rock field. You won't find kayaking as thrilling as here. Moreover, there are not many other companies that offer this interesting Lake Shoji tour.

Relax on a "private tour" with no other guests

Since it is limited to one group, there will be no guests other than you! Enjoy your time without worrying about your surroundings. The hours are longer and more flexible than other companies. Hokuroku Works offers a relaxing private plan. Arafo's local knowledgeable nature guide will guide you only!

It's okay if you can't kayak due to wind or rain!

In general, kayaking is not allowed on windy or rainy days for safety reasons. However, the features of Hokuroku Works can be transferred to the Sea of Trees Tour as they are! This is a unique opportunity to see mysterious forests and lava caves that can only be seen here. It's relatively flat and not muddy, and it's covered with trees, so it's probably less wet than a kayak. Rather, you can see the forest more lively on rainy days! If you have nowhere to go because of the rain and you cannot see Mt. (Changes are only accepted if desired/cannot be held due to weather/no change will be fully refunded)
