Take a relaxing two-seater kayak down the Tokachi River, a large river that flows slowly for about 6 km. You are in charge of rowing yourself! The guide will support you in a separate kayak. Let's go on a river trip together ^^ If you're lucky, you might encounter rare wild birds such as the red-crowned crane or the white-tailed eagle, or even observe the willow tree, which has a very small habitat in Japan! We also recommend looking out over the majestic Hidaka Mountains from the river for a beautiful view. On the way, in Nakasu, you can collect obsidian (Tokachi stone) that can only be found here and take it home as a souvenir! ! It looks like a stone on the riverbank, but inside it's actually beautiful black glass. You'll feel like you're looking for a little gem. It's on until November! *In November, only morning tours are available. *During busy periods such as July and August, the tour may start at 10:00 a.m. or 1:00 p.m. In that case, we will contact you by email or phone the day before.

Let's go down the Tokachi River with a trendy stand-up paddle! !! The river activity, commonly known as SUP, is currently gaining popularity. Applications are increasing year by year at the Tokachi Nature Center. With such a sap, go down the Tokachi River, a major river that represents Hokkaido! It is an activity where you can enjoy plenty of river play by rowing yourself, crossing the waves, making a big curve, and sometimes entering the water. Of course, it's not always the purpose to ride the stream (advanced riders can also ride the fast waves), and just paddling leisurely on a streamless river is enough to enjoy. Even those who are not confident in exercising can "walk on the water" immediately from the first day. Dry suits in spring and autumn Wet suits are rented in summer.
