It is a canoeing experience on the Arekinai River, a tributary that flows through the Kushiro Marsh. The meeting place is JR Senmo Line, in front of Toro Station. The course starts from a lake called Lake Toro, goes to the Arekinai River, goes to the main stream of the Kushiro River, goes up the Arekinai River by canoe, and returns to Lake Toro. Because it is a calm river, you can go up the river, and even those who are new to canoeing can experience it with peace of mind. The river does not freeze even in winter, so you can experience canoeing throughout the year. The scenery that changes according to the season, and the Yezo deer, white-tailed eagles, and red-crowned cranes that you can meet if your timing and luck are good are also highlights. Of course, the guide will ride with you, so please leave the operation of the canoe to us.

Even if you are a first-time canoeist, you can go canoeing down 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 customer, and you will be the only one to steer the canoe and leisurely go down through the wetlands where there are many waterfowl. During the tour, you can learn about the history of the Mimi River and the Ainu, and other stories unique to this area, while canoeing and learning from the guide. The field is near New Chitose Airport, and the Mimi River can be seen from the sky when planes take off and land. This is a recommended tour that is perfect for a honeymoon or family trip that you can remember every time you visit Hokkaido in the future. "The tour was fun, but we don't have any photos!!" "We came together, but we don't have any photos of the two of us!!" During the tour, we will give away photos taken with a single-lens reflex camera to anyone who wants them. [Tour Recommendations 1.2.3] 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 you can rest assured. You will not be sharing the canoe. ② There are surprisingly few travel photos! ! Gateway Tours will give you digital photos of your tour! You cannot take photos of yourself in a canoe from inside the canoe. Photos taken in a canoe are memories that will last a lifetime. This service is only available at Gateway Tours! It's worth participating just for the photos. ③You can rest assured that your guide is an outdoor master guide certified by the Hokkaido Prefectural Governor, and also has other guide qualifications, rescue qualifications, and first aid qualifications. *If you are participating with your family or alone, please apply from another plan. https://activityjapan.com/search/?addressAndKeyword=Gateway+Tours

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.

(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.

To be honest, it is difficult to find a place to take an activity tour by yourself. Gateway Tours can only accept one person per tour. (This is not a private tour as it is held at the same time as other tours.) It is many times more difficult to operate a Canadian canoe by yourself than it is to operate it with two people. For this reason, you will basically ride in the guide's canoe. The benefits are that you can leisurely go down the river, take photos and videos with your own camera, ask the guide various questions, and listen carefully to the stories of the field. Also, depending on the conditions on the day (mainly the wind direction), you can try a single-seater canoe in a separate boat from the guide. During the tour, you can learn about the history of the Mimi River and the Ainu, and stories unique to this area from the guide, and of course you can canoe while learning. The field is near New Chitose Airport and there is a free shuttle, so many people use it at the beginning or end of their trip, or during their free time on a business trip to Hokkaido. During the tour, we will give you free photos taken with a single-lens reflex camera to those who wish. [Recommended] ① You can participate by one person! ! ②Surprisingly few travel photos!!
