Soyokyo Nakayama Dam is located in the upper reaches of the Gokase River, Japan's cleanest river. It is part of the Aso Geopark. You can enjoy it according to the season from spring to autumn. The meeting place is the former Soyo Town Hall, now the Soyokyo General Branch Office. It is about 30 minutes from Minamiaso and 40 minutes from Takachiho. The boarding point is a little difficult to drive because it is a narrow road that winds down, so we will travel by our company's car. Morning departures are at 9:30 and afternoon departures are at 13:00. There is almost no current, so it is perfect for first-time canoeing experience. We set out from the edge of the dam lake and head for the waterfall downstream. We take photos with the spray of the waterfall and the pleasant breeze of negative ions right in front of us! There we take a drink break while still in the canoe (one drink per person). From there, we go back upstream and go further upstream than the boarding point! It is said that Aso was formed 90,000 years ago, and in that time it has become full of power spots, such as the rock surfaces carved by the river, trees that stand embracing large stones, and an unnamed waterfall that is stepped but about 80m high. Experience the charm of Soyo Gorge, a hidden area in the southeast of the outer rim of Mt. Aso, upstream of Takachiho Gorge, the village of the gods, through a canoe.

"Ise Katagami" is used for dyeing kimonos. It is a traditional craft technique that has been passed down in Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture for over a thousand years. ``Ise Katagami'' is made by a craftsman called a katagami, who uses a chisel to carve intricate patterns and designs onto durable Japanese paper. It is surprising that more than 900 patterns are carved into a single inch (approximately 3cm) corner using a very fine piece of material. This time, we will be dyeing postcards using a pattern carved by Chiaki Imazaka, a traditional craftsman. Why not dye it in your favorite color, create an original postcard, and send it to your loved ones with a message? We also have 6 different designs of this year's zodiac signs, ``Dragon'' and ``Seahorse.'' We recommend sending it to a loved one or to yourself as a memento of your trip to Tokyo.

(Note) This is not a half-day trip to the Chibishi Islands, but a tour that travels to three diving points in one day, such as Tokashiki, Zamami, and Aka Island (islands designated as national parks). At JOY CREATE Okinawa, we will guide you to 2-3 places where there are many fish in one day, such as Zamami, Tokashiki, and Aka Island! In other sightseeing and attractions, you can enjoy the excitement and sensation that you can not experience! Boat diving is recommended for those who want to dive comfortably. Our instructors are kind, polite, and slowly teach you the fun of Okinawa experience diving (Kerama Islands). That is the mission of our instructors. The Kerama Experience Diving held by Tida is on a request basis. Please let us know what creatures you would like to see, such as submarine deserts, caves of light, and turtle points. I would like to respond as much as possible. Actually, I can't swim, I'm afraid of water, I'm afraid of heights, etc. There must be various reasons. Most of our guests are new to diving. Don't think it's a nuisance, try it first. It is a simple play that even an 8-year-old child can experience. In order to use it safely and happily, we comply with the PADI safety instruction standards according to the manual created in-house, and the instructor also learns first aid and is in charge. 〇 Measures against hot days We want our customers to be cooler and enjoy the Kerama Islands, so we will only have August and September (we will decide whether to hold the event in September depending on the situation.) We will serve shaved ice. We also have a wide variety of syrups, and the shaved ice while looking at the Kerama Blue is exquisite. *Our own ship is air-conditioned ship. ●Precautions for cold days The average winter temperature in Okinawa is around 20 degrees Celsius, and the water temperature in the sea around the Kerama Islands never drops below 22 degrees Celsius. Therefore, there are many days when the water temperature is higher than the outside temperature and the water is comfortable. In addition to that, we wear a 3mm hood vest (free) under a 5mm dress, and on board a boat coat (free), a heated cabin and engine heat are always used to keep the ship on the ship for 25 minutes. I'm trying to keep it around the degree. For lunch, we prepare warm Okinawa soba and oden, and strive to make our customers comfortable. Still, we have a secret weapon for those who are cold! Please contact our staff. ◎ Regional common coupon available plan available!
