[Osaka, Sakuranomiya] Water City Osaka Canal Tour Half-Day Kayak Tour Private tour limited to one group, safe and secure! Beginners and children welcome!

Experience the charms of Osaka's water city from the river on this half-day kayak tour along the Osaka Canal. Starting at the Waterside Park near JR Sakuranomiya Station, you'll practice paddling on the city's only beach. Then, board your kayak on the calm waters surrounded by the embankment and launch your kayak into the Okawa River. Explore the urban jungle, surrounded by skyscrapers. Speeding through the urban jungle offers a refreshingly different experience than activities in the great outdoors. Courses are tailored to each participant's pace. For those confident in their stamina, we offer a full loop around the urban island of Nakanoshima. This tour is recommended for those who feel like they've had enough of eating too much in Osaka, and need some exercise. Even for locals, the view from the river is a whole new experience, and you'll discover new charms in Osaka, sure to fall even more in love with your hometown!

There are many people who enjoy the outdoors in the great outdoors in places as far away as Okinawa and Hokkaido, and who seek out nature for their love, but I think that few people pay attention to the nature that is right under their feet in their daily lives. Thanks to past efforts by the government, the water quality has improved, and even though it is a city river, the environment in which you can enjoy kayaking has become a very rare river even on a global scale. Why not try out playing in a city river that can be proud of on a global scale? If you are a local, you will definitely love your hometown even more!

This is a private tour limited to one group, so it is a safe and secure tour tailored to the participating customers, so even beginners and small children can feel free to participate. Small children around 2 years old can join for free if they are accompanied by a guardian. For small children and elderly people who are worried about paddling, we also have two-seater kayaks, so you can rest assured.

Although it is a river, it is actually close to the ocean, and just like the ocean, the direction and speed of the river changes due to the influence of the tides. However, we have prepared authentic sea kayaks, so you can paddle against the current of the river, which is influenced by the tides, and enjoy a sense of speed that is different from recreational kayaking.
