■I want to try a little, I want to start! ■Let's Try Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) A stand-up paddle board born in Hawaii. Let's enjoy walking on the water! Even beginners can enjoy it easily. SUP Start! Depending on your idea, cruising, fishing, health management with an enhanced sense of balance, etc. Stand-up paddle board (SUP) that anyone can enjoy and get inspired by the harmony with nature. "Stand Up Paddle" is a water activity that is also called "SUP" or "Stand Up Paddle Board (paddle surfing)". In recent years, SUP has been attracting attention from famous surfers such as Maui's Layered Hamilton and Dave Kalama, and Oahu's Brian Keallana, but its history is long, dating back to ancient Polynesian civilization. In the 1960s, men working on the beach of Waikiki, the mecca of surfing, used outrigger canoe paddles to carry tourists and surfed on longboards, so SUP is also known as the "beach boy style." It became popular in recent years. The fun of SUP is endless! SUP has a strong image of standing on a board, but in fact, you can enjoy it freely whether you sleep or sit! You can leisurely paddle and cruise, take a walk on the water, surf, or do yoga or pilates on a board. You can also fish in places that are difficult to reach by boat. You can enjoy it just by paddling like a canoe. The SUP board is smaller than a canoe and has only one paddle on one side, making it easy to enjoy. Standing on a board on the water, you can see the scenery from a higher vantage point, and you can feel the real thrill of nature in a different way than usual. There is also a healing effect of bathing the whole body in negative ions at the waterside, and this SUP allows you to enjoy various ways of playing and natural scenery that you have never seen before. Popular SUP for women! Amazing shape up and diet effect! SUP is said to have the same effect as aerobic exercise such as running by paddling the whole body. In addition, standing on the board while maintaining balance, even for a short period of time, strengthens the inner muscles around the pelvis, attracting the attention of women. It is a hot topic among famous models and celebrities in Japan and abroad because it has a high shape-up effect, such as a tight waist, a stooped back, a plump stomach, and a metabolic syndrome. According to one theory, the amount of calories burned per hour is 4 to 500 kcal for SUP yoga, and 6 to 700 kcal for SUP cruising and SUP surfing. (*By the way, if a person weighing 65 kg runs at a speed of 10 km/h for 1 hour, the amount of calories burned is about 650 kcal.)

You can receive an olfactory response analysis assessment three times! ! Not only can you learn, but you can also take home a simplified version kit! !

After a while, you can hear trivia such as how to distinguish between male and female fish and the species of fish caught that day, the secret of their deliciousness, and the hardships they endured.

[Yura Fisheries Cooperative Association auction] The fishermen themselves line up crates of fish one after another on a wooden platform. The fishermen instantly select the fish, quickly write the purchase price in chalk on palm-sized rectangular plates, and throw them one after another into a designated box-like area, where the person inside the box wins the bid to the highest bidder. This is a unique system of the Yura Fisheries Cooperative Association. It only takes a few tens of seconds, but you can see the tension and speed of the professional scene with your own eyes. This process is repeated over and over, and once again the fish are selected, the price is decided, and the bill is thrown in. During this time, fresh fish are brought in one after another from the boats docked at the port. This auction continues for about an hour. In the past, on days with a large catch, the auction would continue until the evening. ■Schedule10:30 Meet at Yura Fishing Port (Market) (Meet Awajishima Suisan Yamaguchi, a professional fisherman)10:35 Take a tour of Yura Fisheries Cooperative Association with Yamaguchi, a professional fishermanFirst, he shows us one fresh fish after another caught in the waters off Awaji Island, such as sea bream, flounder, horse mackerel, hairtail, octopus, abalone, and turban shells, before they are shipped to markets at high prices.

The "Village Revitalization Project" started after hearing from overseas tourists that they wanted to know more about Japanese culture and would like to participate if they had the opportunity to experience it. Located about an hour from Himeji Castle, it is a precious place that preserves traditional Japanese rural scenery and shrines. In addition, due to the declining birthrate and aging population, the local elementary school is also at risk of closing. This is a format that allows everyone to participate in village revitalization through Japanese cultural experiences, and is different from general tours. Please join the "Village Revitalization Project" and let's create the future together. Thank you. This plan includes lunch and dinner. In this tour, you will experience Japanese culture. After the sake brewery tour and tasting experience, you will move to Yasutomi Town and enjoy lunch and dinner (local cuisine) while looking at the rural scenery. At that time, we will play the koto, shakuhachi, shamisen, and Japanese dance. In addition, you will experience the tea ceremony (dessert = tea cake) during lunch. After lunch, we will visit the shrine and hold a dedication.
