Enjoy packrafting on the latest activity "Packraft". You can easily float on the beautiful Yoshino River! It is very light, and even beginners can control it safely and easily! It may be the easiest and most casual of all paddle sports! ? Since it has a large surface area that comes into contact with the water, it is not as difficult as a kayak or canoe, and there is little risk of capsizing. At the beginning, there is a lecture on how to get on, get off, how to paddle, and what to do if you fall off, so even beginners can participate with confidence. After the lecture, you will be able to walk smoothly on the water in about 10 minutes. We will tour about 1 km on a gentle course with little current for beginners. Once you get used to maneuvering the boat, you can take a free stroll. It is nice to relax by looking at the scenery, and it is also fun to observe the creatures around the water. If you request, you can swim in the river and dive off the rocks. We do not go down the sections with rapids (waves). We also have two-seater rides with children, so please contact us. *For those who want to play a lot, we also have a one-day course, but it is a separate plan, so please contact us from the official website. *Please contact us if you weigh over 80kg. *Height limit: 120cm or more (any age) *Up to 6 minors can accompany one guardian.

A kayaking instructor from the Japan Recreational Canoe Association (JRCA) will guide you. Kayaking is an activity where you get on a small boat and paddle alternately left and right with a double-bladed paddle with blades on both sides to move forward on the water surface. Let's take a mini tour of the beautiful, clear Yoshino River in a full-fledged river kayak. It's a little difficult until you get used to it, but once you do, it's twice as fun. First, there are lessons on how to get on and off the kayak, how to paddle, posture, control, and what to do if you capsize, so even beginners can participate with confidence. The mini touring course is a section of about 1.5 km with a gentle current. Once you get used to it, you can take a walk freely, or if you want to learn more, you can continue to learn. You can flow leisurely with the flow of the river, look at the scenery and be healed, or walk along the shore and look for creatures. There are endless ways to enjoy it ♪ If you request it, you can swim in the river or jump off the rocks. *We do not go down the rapids (where there are waves). *Please contact us if you weigh over 80kg. (*Depending on your weight, you may be required to use an inflatable kayak) *Height limit: 120cm or more (any age) *Up to 6 minors can accompany one guardian <Recommended for these people!> 1: I'm a beginner at outdoor activities, but I want to try the classic outdoor activities! 2: I want to try something a little more serious! 3: I want to enjoy it at an affordable price! <Tour flow> Meet at the base (10:00/11:00/13:30) Reception, insurance, changing clothes Departure Safety explanation, rowing practice Start of mini touring End of mini touring Change clothes Flow Disband (~12:00/~13:00/~15:30) *Tour time may vary depending on water level, weather, wind direction, and customer's physical strength. *Photos taken during the tour can be viewed in a slideshow after the tour. Photos are downloadable, so please purchase the QR code at the reception on the day. <Comments from staff> I recommend this tour if you want to try a little more serious activity. It is more difficult than packrafting, but that's also what makes it interesting. Although it is a section with a gentle current, touring the Yoshino River gives you a sense of accomplishment!
