I'm too enthusiastic to do it normally! It is a tour where you can enjoy the Shimanto River most intensely for two days and one night. Bicycle + river rafting all by yourself! & Camp on the river! I also boil the packraft bath (commonly known as Pak Raflo lol) by myself. You may find it difficult, but this playful guide will safely support your adventure. E-BIKE cycling on the Shimanto River with a trailer full of camp luggage. Go up the river while crossing the subsidence bridge, and go down the river with your bicycle from your favorite place according to the season and weather conditions! For lunch, go to a nearby restaurant, buy a bonfire BBQ in the evening and a meal (alcohol, of course) the next morning, and head to the river! (Since individual differences are large, meals and purchases are paid separately). There is plenty of time, so you can relax in the river. Your guide will do what you want to do. At night, carry it by yourself, put the river water in the boat that you got on the river, boil it on a bonfire, and take a bath (please bring your swimsuit). The bath in an empty river is the best! When I go to bed, I don't have a tent with a tarp, but I turn the boat over to make an air bed and put it in a sleeping bag to sleep. The body is warm while receiving the cold wind on the face. It feels good to sleep in such a situation. And you can just look at the starry sky. You can see the starry sky and shooting stars if you look at it all the time (I can't guarantee it, but lol). This is an adventure where a local guide will ensure your safety and explain various wild birds, fish and local culture. What do you feel when you throw yourself into nature? There is also such fun. Please contact us first! * Due to boat loading restrictions, we are targeting people with a weight limit of less than 100 kg.

About Daito Aiki Jiu-Jitsu Daito Aiki Jiu-Jitsu. This martial art is a palace-style self-defense technique that was originally conveyed only to the senior samurai of the Aizu clan. Until the Meiji era, martial arts was a secret to the public, but it became known to the public by Takeda Sokaku, a native of Aizu. Moving zazen "I can't be slashed. I can't be beaten. I can't be kicked. I can't be kicked." Mr. Komichi Horikawa, a high school brother of Takeda Sokaku, positions martial arts in this way. The goal is not to defeat the opponent, as in the case of match-style martial arts and martial arts, but to enhance one's spirituality. This is the ideal, peaceful philosophy of martial arts. Specializing in zazen teaching, I realized that the ignorance of this martial art was very close to the point of Zen enlightenment. The technique of Daito-ryu Aiki Jiu-Jitsu can be rephrased as "moving zazen". Active martial arts for a lifetime The appeal of this martial art is that it can be learned by anyone, regardless of Ageo/Okegawa or Sex. At present, there are children from kindergarten below and those who have passed Koki above. Mid-Year hard and body in, yet is powerless even I, was able to so much without difficulty learning. One of the few martial arts that can last a lifetime. Please try it by all means

「本当に、この道であっているのかな?」そう、今回は集合場所に到着時する前からドキドキが始まっていました。看板はあるものの、奥まった所へと車を進める事になるので到着するまで不安が募りました(集合場所を見つけた時はほっとしました)。 体験はまず、案内をしてくださるガイドの船津さんと、当主の荒谷さんの紹介から始まり、安全のための注意事項の説明、それからヘルメットの装着をしました。 準備が整うと、重ねられた石の間を通り、工具等がある小屋の間を通って採石場の入り口へ。入り口を見たときは思わず吐いた息と共に「うわぁー」と声が漏れました。 大きく開いた入り口、壁は白っぽくて幾何学的な模様が刻まれていました。私には不思議でとても美しく魅力的に見えました。 採石場の中へ入り、独特な雰囲気を感じ、まるで異世界に来たような感覚がしました(どう感じたかは上手く言葉で表現できませんので割愛で)。 実際に石を切り出す所を見せていただき、石を切る時の音の変化を感じる事もできました。 また、石の状態を探りながら採石していく技術は長年受け継がれ、歴史と凄みを感じました。 お話していただいたことや実際に体験したことは全て興味深いもので、私は参加して良かったです。 今回、参加した時期が良く、外気と採石場の気温の差を感じる事が出来なかったので、また別の季節に参加したいと思いますいます。
