＼Try the popular classic sport! ／"I only know the name kayaking, but I wonder what it is" "I want to try it, but I'm a little nervous..." This is a gentle activity that is perfect for those who want to experience a little bit of authenticity. Get in a kayak and feel like you are one with the river at a level close to the water surface. Take a mini tour of the crystal clear Yoshino River in a full-fledged river kayak. Enjoy a relaxing and healing time surrounded by the murmuring of the river and the sounds of nature. [Why do we recommend kayaking?] ・I'm a beginner in the outdoors, but I want to try a little adventure ・Classic activities are popular because they are fun ・It's twice as fun when you can control it yourself! [Mini touring overview] Course distance: Approximately 1.5 km (the current is very gentle) Time required: Approximately 2 hours (90 minutes on the water: lesson + touring) Two-seater inflatable kayaks are also available (check when making a reservation) ＼Don't worry if you think it's a little difficult! ／There will be a proper lesson before the start!

[With support!] ・How to get on and off a kayak ・Basic paddling and posture ・How to respond when capsizing and how to stay safe ・We have equipment that is safe for those who can't swim If you have any questions, you can ask the instructor right away, so there's no need to worry! [Recommended for] ・I'm a beginner in the outdoors, but I want to have a more serious experience ・I want to move slowly while talking ・I want to enjoy the feeling of controlling it more than SUP ・I want to experience something out of the ordinary, such as meeting clear streams, wild birds and fish [Schedule for the day] Meet at 09:45 / 10:45 / 13:30 ↓ Check-in / Change of clothes / Safety explanation / Paddling practice ↓ Start of mini touring (about 1.5km) ↓ Once you get used to it, you can take a free walk or play in the river ↓ End / Change of clothes / Disbandment of the flow (until 11:45 / until 12:45 / until 15:30) *Times may vary depending on the weather, water level, and the physical strength of the participants. [Information and Precautions] ・Do not go down "rapids" with waves. ・Please let us know if you weigh over 80kg. ・If you are riding alone, you must be over 140cm tall (any age). [Fun after the tour♪] You can view the photos taken during the tour in a slideshow after the tour! You can also purchase your favorite photos by downloading them on the spot using the QR code. [Comments from staff] It's a little more difficult than packrafts or SUPs. But that makes up for the great sense of accomplishment when you finish! Kayaking is an adventure in itself, as you face nature and move forward while controlling it yourself. Even if it's your first time, you'll be able to paddle properly. Please give it a try♪
