You can buy lunch and eat it on the river, or if the timing is right, you can go up the river and eat local Shimanto River cuisine! (Lunch is at your own expense), and you can have an adventure that fits your taste and physical fitness. You can enjoy the whole day, or you can finish it in a short time with only the delicious parts. The basic route is fixed, but everything depends on your request as an adventurer! (I can't do more than the guide's physical strength lol) It is an adventure where a local guide ensures safety and explains various wild birds, fish, and local culture. In addition, if you do not fail, we will give you photos during the guide and plotted GPS data on the map (data of the trajectory you traveled and navigated). Basically, we will send it within 2 hours after the end of the guided tour. Please refrain from excessive expectations for the quality of the photos as we will guide you in one operation and ensure safety. If you want, please add one by selecting the children's set from the options. Up to 2 children can participate.

四万十川と黒尊川の合流付近〜川登大橋をバイクで登り、カヌーで下りました。「上流〜中流の変化を見たい」という無茶なオーダーに応えて、支流から本流への合流を体験させていただき大満足でした！下から地層や橋梁を見上げたり、のんびり川原の石を物色したり、ジオ旅としても素晴らしかったです。電動バイクのアシストが頼もしく、日頃スポーツをしている訳ではないですが１日元気に楽しめました。帰ると疲れがどっと出ますので、直後は予定を入れないことをオススメします笑

A tour where you can enjoy the best starry sky in Japan and be surrounded by firefly lights 360 degrees around! A beautiful world of light created by the Yaeyama Hime fireflies and a starry sky spreading across the night sky! Come and see the seasonal natural illumination show! The main thing you can observe is the Yaeyama Hime firefly. The way they blink is different from the fireflies seen in Honshu. Fireflies actually light up to mate. When they fly off all at once as if they had arranged it, they are surrounded by fireflies and are enveloped in their lights. The viewing spot is in the mountains, a 20-minute drive from the city. This is a spot that both serious photographers and first-time firefly viewers can enjoy. ◆Firefly peak guideline Early March - 10-20% Mid-March to early April - 30-70% Mid-April to early May - 70-100% After mid-May - Gradually decreasing. After watching the fireflies, if the weather is good, make a little detour before heading home. Come see the starry sky in Yaeyama, one of Japan's leading stargazing spots!

Everything is well equipped. Boots, jacket, pants and anti-mosquito spray are provided. Our tour guide Yoshi is knowledgeable, he introduces us different types of fireflies, birds, insects and the nature. We are lucky to see fireflies, also for the first time in my life, which is gorgeous. Towards the end of tour Yoshi drives us to the beach to watch beautiful sky with a lot of stars at night. The tour is a good deal and strongly recommended.

It is a plan to simply go down the river on a chartered tour. The Shimanto River and, if you are lucky, the tributary Kuroson River, which is cleaner than the main stream, will also be shown (depending on the amount of water). Children are welcome (from around 85 cm tall), so it is possible to go down the river while playing in the river. "Shimanto River is hard to come by, but the distance and time to go down the river is short! I want to play for a long time!" "I want to enjoy the freedom of a chartered tour!" I want to drift down the Shimanto River!” *You can even take a nap on the river. !” is the perfect plan for those who say. Leave all the trouble to the guide! So, basically, you can enjoy it empty-handed if you wear clothes that are suitable for the season and are suitable for exercise. The basic charge is for up to 2 people. Due to the availability of Okera Adventures vehicles, the maximum number of people is basically 3, but if you would like to participate with more people, please contact us. Please make a provisional reservation first. Children from around 85 cm tall can be accommodated. Please consult first.
