Why not spend a special time resetting your mind and body on a tranquil morning on Lake Biwa? On this tour, you can enjoy stand-up paddling and kayaking while watching the sun rise over the lake. The gradations of light reflected on the water's surface and the ever-changing colors of the sky are truly a magnificent sight, woven by nature. The tranquility and clear air of early morning bring an extraordinary sense of relaxation. November is especially ideal for SUP and kayaking. The morning air is just cool enough, and your body warms up as you begin paddling, allowing you to fully enjoy nature in a comfortable balance. The unique comfort of this time of year, neither too hot nor too cold, further enhances the quality of your experience. Instructors will provide thorough instruction and safety equipment, ensuring even beginners can participate with confidence. Staff will take photos throughout the tour to capture lasting memories. After your experience, enjoy freshly brewed coffee on the facility's outdoor deck. We offer a luxurious time to relax and unwind in the morning light.
The instructor will give you a thorough explanation of how to paddle and safety before you begin.
360 degree Lake Biwa spreads out and you can monopolize the best location. The view of Mt. Hiei from the lake is also superb! In addition, you can experience it in a place that is easy to access, about 15 minutes by train from Kyoto Station.
Feel the cool breeze while walking around the lakeside. There are many photo spots in the OPAL facility, so please enjoy the wonderful scenery of Lake Biwa even after the experience!
