The sunset sinking into the horizon at eye level. The color of the sky changes from moment to moment. You can also enjoy the mangrove forest and the starry sky. Under the starry sky, the starry sky commentary using laser beams is very popular as it is easier to understand than a planetarium. Stand by on the sea before the sunset. The sun changes color as it sinks and the color of the sky changes from moment to moment. You can feel the wind blowing change as well. You will then enter a river lined with mangroves where it gets gradually darker, and you may even see birds that were absent during the day returning to sleep. As you paddle across the ocean, you will see the stars appear one by one in the clear sky, and before you know it, the sky is full of stars. You will be amazed at the number of stars, which seem to be scattered like grains of sand. The Milky Way lies overhead, and you will be given a commentary on the starry sky. This starry sky can only be seen in the northern part of Ishigaki Island, which is a starry sky conservation area. The explanation is given using laser beams, so it is easy to understand and has been well received.

[Orion Ishigakijima Points] ★Private tour for small groups! ★Beginners and children are welcome! ★Shuttle service available! ★Free photo data! ★Hot showers and changing rooms available! ★Very popular with small children! Paddle not only in the river but also in the sea for a satisfying experience! Starting from a beach that resembles the original landscape of Okinawa, weave through the mangroves to the tidal flats in the back. You can enjoy both the sea and the river. Everyone from babies to grandparents can play together. [About the tour start time] The tour start time is set taking into account the tides. We will contact you after your reservation is confirmed to confirm the exact start time. Enjoy kayaking/SUP while being rocked by the waves on the wide, bright sea. Even beginners can practice while actually moving forward. By the time you reach the river, you will have improved quite a bit. Once you pass under the bridge, the world of mangrove virgin forest spreads out before you. Slowly move forward on the calm river surface without waves. The mangroves get closer and closer. Crabs are hiding at the base. Birds are watching you. Take pictures of such a scene and go further in. Soon, the wide tidal flats come into view. Many crabs and other creatures live on the tidal flats. The moment you step on the tidal flats, gobies and many crabs fly away from your feet. Birds ring out overhead. Crabs peek out from their holes. If you listen carefully, you can hear all kinds of voices and sounds. It's lively in the summer, but when it cools down, it becomes quiet. In the hot season, you can even swim. We explain about the creatures and catch them to observe. I want the children to know the fun of discovering them for themselves! After spending some time in this other world, we go down the river again and head to the sea, realizing that we have become quite skilled at kayaking/SUP. When we come out of the narrow river, the sea feels much wider. We head for the finish line, either leisurely or with effort.

Enjoy packrafting on the latest activity "Packraft". A kayak instructor from the Japan Recreational Canoe Association (JRCA) will guide you. You can easily and casually tour 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 less risk of capsizing. At the beginning, there is a lesson 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 lesson, you will be able to walk smoothly on the water in about 10 minutes. The mini touring course is a section of about 1.5 km with a gentle current, and the experience lasts for about 90 minutes. Once you get used to it, you can take a walk freely, or if you want to learn more, you can continue learning. It is good to relax and enjoy the scenery, or to observe the creatures around the water. There are endless ways to enjoy it♪ If you request, you can swim in the river or jump off the rocks. If you want to ride with your child, we also have a two-seater. Please contact us when making a reservation as we may not have it in stock. *We do not go down the rapids (where there are waves).

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. 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. 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 without waves. Once you get used to kayaking, you can take a walk on your own, or if you want to learn more, you can continue to learn. You can flow with the flow of the river, look at the scenery and be healed, or paddle yourself and explore the shore to 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 in an inflatable kayak. *Height limit: 120cm or more (any age) Recommended for those who: 1: Are new to outdoor activities but want to try the classic outdoor activities! 2: Want to try something a little more serious! 3: Want to enjoy at an affordable price! Tour flow: Meet at base (09:45/10:45/13:30) Reception, insurance, change of clothes Departure Safety explanation, rowing practice Start of mini touring End of mini touring Change of clothes Flow Disband (~11:45/~12:45/~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: Recommended for those who want to try a little more serious activities. It is more difficult than packrafting, but that's also what makes it interesting. Although it is a section with a gentle current, paddling down the Yoshino River yourself will give you a sense of accomplishment!

This is a plan limited to Douminwari (Hokkaido residents discount). In this day and age, everything is increasing in price. Hotel rates and activity tours are also increasing in price. It has become difficult for Hokkaido residents to travel to Hokkaido. We hope that customers in Hokkaido will learn about the good things about Hokkaido, so we will offer a price that is easy to participate in (up to 33% discount). (Example) For two adults, the usual price of 15,000 yen is 11,000 yen, a 4,000 yen discount. For two adults and two elementary school students, the usual price of 22,000 yen is 17,000 yen, a 5,000 yen discount. *Please show your identification on the day of the event, or live in Hokkaido. If you live outside of Hokkaido but attend a school or company in Hokkaido, we will apply if you have proof of identity. Even if you are a customer who is canoeing for the first time, you can go down the river right away on the Mimi River. It is a wonderful field that is hard to find even in Japan. The guide will ride in a separate canoe from the guests, and the guests will be the only ones who will be steering the canoe, leisurely descending through the wetlands where there are many waterfowl. During the tour, the guide will tell you about the history of the Mimi River and the Ainu, as well as stories unique to this area, and you will be able to experience canoeing while learning as well as canoeing. "The tour was fun, but I don't have any photos!!" "I came all the way here, but I don't have any photos!!" During the tour, we will give away photos taken with a single-lens reflex camera to those who request them for free. [Recommended] ① The river flows slowly, and even at its deepest, it is only about waist-deep for adults, so it is a very shallow river, so it is safe for children. ② There are surprisingly few travel photos!! Gateway Tours will give you digital photos of the tour taken with a single-lens reflex camera!! You cannot take photos of yourself in a canoe from inside the canoe. Tour photos of you on a canoe will be a lifelong memory! This service is only available at Gateway Tours! It is worth participating just for the photos. ③ The guide is a Hokkaido Governor-certified outdoor master guide, and has other guide qualifications, rescue qualifications, and first aid qualifications, so you can rest assured. We also have staff who hold childcare qualifications. *You can rent one or two canoes and everyone can ride together without worrying about other customers. *Families with large numbers of people or especially large parents or children may be asked to board two boats.
