A popular canoe and kayak for activities that can be enjoyed by the water. However, it may be difficult to play individually. Also, it may be difficult for first-time users to evaluate the risks of playing in nature. This experience is a kind of boat called "inflatable kayak", and you can enjoy paddling on a relatively flat lake surface. Since the hull is a type that can be inflated with air, it has excellent maneuverability, transportability, and storability. It is smaller than a tent when it is deflated, and it is a compact vehicle that can be easily carried by a passenger car. Moreover, the rigidity of the hull is higher than the rubber boat you can imagine, so you can stand and ride depending on how you ride. With this plan, you can enjoy inflatable kayak touring in a private sense on the north side of Bokyo Bridge of "Tobetsu Owl Lake" in Tobetsu Town, which is north of Sapporo. Under the environment of Wiz Corona, the number of boats per event is limited, so it is especially recommended for families and small groups. Of course, we will give a lecture on the basic maneuvering method, so please be assured even if you are new to the ship. Basically, it is a course that goes around the north side of the lake. You can row through landscapes like floating islands and dead trees, observe birds in shallow water, and depending on the season, white-tailed eagles live. Enjoying the dam lake surrounded by thick forests in the Aoyama area, which was originally a farmland, is also a great refreshment! The movements of carp and crucian carp will also be intriguing. Why don't you take this opportunity to get familiar with water?

This is a limited-time tour only available in autumn. You can observe the creatures in the river where Okhotsk salmon and autumn salmon naturally spawn. You can see salmon, of course, but also other creatures such as creatures that target fish and birds that steal eggs. Sometimes you can observe them close enough to take photos with your smartphone. The guide will prepare a filter that allows you to take beautiful photos of the fish without shining the river surface. On the morning of the day of fishing, you can also observe the fish being landed at the "Utoro Salmon Terrace". Please choose a tour at 7 or 8 o'clock on a weekday. (Fishing is suspended on Sundays and in bad weather.) The salmon return situation changes depending on natural conditions. If there are no salmon nearby, you will move by car, so we recommend that you participate by rental car. In the event of bad weather, we will contact you to cancel (or postpone if you wish).

Each of the participating neighborhoods builds a yakatabune, which must be carried from its home neighborhood to the dry riverbed of the Yokote River. On August 15, the boats are lined up during the bon odori so that visitors can see them up close. On August 16, the boats are pulled down to the river for the sending-off ceremony.
