In the hot season, head to a natural athletic course created by lava. Kannabe Highlands is home to Kannabe Volcano, the newest volcano in Kinki and the only one with a crater remaining. Trek through the river, using your whole body along the lava flow that was formed when lava solidified after it erupted about 25,000 years ago. Along the way, you can go close to a waterfall, grab onto rocks to move forward, feel the water pressure, and it's just like natural athletics! One of the things to enjoy is the outdoor break time, where you can relax in a secret place. *There are beginner to intermediate routes, so you can choose a course that suits the physical ability of the participants.

We will take a 10km trip around Numashima, also known as "Onokoro Island" which is related to the creation myth described in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, on an active fishing boat. The tour will take you to see the megaliths and strange rocks such as "Kamitachigami Rock" and "Shimotachigami Rock" from the sea with the guidance of a veteran guide. You will learn about the legends, history, and crustal activity of "Onokoro Island" while looking at the rocks that are said to be related to the creation myth, and you will also learn about the history and fishing of Numashima. Numashima is where the creation myth of Japan lives on. There are many strange rocks such as Ame-no-Mihashira and Kamita-Kami Rock, and distinctive reefs that can only be seen from the sea. In addition to the Onokoro Shrine, there are many other places related to the myth on the island, so there are many spots you can enjoy even after disembarking the cruise. Fishermen with the skill to navigate through difficult areas plan tours of the surrounding area along with its myths to promote the charms of the region, and a person who moved here and loves Numashima acts as the coordinator and guide. They guide an amazing 300 groups (1,000 people) a year! You can enjoy private tours limited to one group per hour. Balancing their main business of fishing with tourism gives them an awareness of how to create new communities and increase the number of people connected to them in this remote island where the population continues to decline and vitality is being lost.
