The course is a short tour of about 2.5 kilometers from under the highway overpass that runs through the town of Chitose to near the Chitose City Sports Center! The snowy scenery spreads out on the riverbank with a good view, and wild deer gather along the quiet river, and you can see salmon running upstream, which is becoming a symbol of the Chitose River, until around February! The experience lasts 30 to 40 minutes, and it takes about an hour from meeting to disbanding. *The tour may vary depending on the weather and river conditions on the day. *Most tours are conducted below freezing, so please take proper cold weather precautions. *As safety is our number one priority, tours may be canceled due to weather, etc. Please note this in advance. *As the boat boarding is on a slight slope, you will need to have a certain level of physical ability that does not interfere with your daily life.
