前日の夜に急遽、青の洞窟に行こう!とネット検索しました。4名で朝7時からのツアーを予約。近くの『かつない臨海公園』の無料駐車場に車を止めて、のぼりをたどり、外人の船長を発見!「あ、ここね!」とすぐに乗船場は分かりました。朝7時からの出航で、他の船は出ておらず、かなりゆっくりと洞窟内に滞在出来ました。海は青く、崖などの自然に脅威を感じるほどでした。行きも帰りも愉快な船長の説明を聞いて80分位だったと思います。快晴で風も少ない日でしたが、船上は寒いです。また、穏やかであろう海も素人にはとても荒れて感じました。船酔いする人は注意です。

The weather was not the greatest but our driver (yumi) was fantastic. She took us to all the sites we requested. She told us so much along the way, by using her Japanese/English translation device. She was extremely helpful with suggestions and guidance. She also provided pictures of what we 'would' have seen, since it was very overcast and foggy on our day. She took many pictures for us as well. We almost decided not to go because of the weather but we are VERY GLAD that we did!

Canoeing and kayaking are popular waterside activities. And in the Sapporo area, which is blessed with water resources such as the Ishikari River, there are many waterfronts that you can get close to. Nonetheless, it may be difficult to play alone, and it may be difficult to assess the risks of playing in nature. This experience is a kind of boat called "inflatable kayak", and you can enjoy rowing a calm river or flat lake surface with a tool called "paddle" with a board called "blade" on both ends. The hull is designed to be inflated with air, so it has excellent mobility and transportability, and when deflated, it becomes smaller than a tent, making it a compact vehicle that can be easily transported even in a passenger car. Of course, the hull, which is the buoyancy body, has a multi-chamber structure, and even if one buoyancy cannot be secured, other buoyancy bodies will back it up, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind. In this plan, the maximum number of boats managed by the guide in charge is reduced under the environment of with corona, so you can enjoy the inflatable kayak experience almost privately. Especially recommended for families and small groups. Of course, we will give you a thorough lecture on how to maneuver the boat at the beginning, so please do not worry. Surrounded by nature, the area around the Chitose River is in harmony with nature, with red-crowned cranes inhabiting the reservoir, making it the perfect place for convenience and refreshment!! The chirping of birds, the presence of great egrets and gray herons, the movement of carp and crucian carp hiding in the roots of reeds, and the shoals of salmon that come upstream in the autumn will surely arouse your interest. During warmer months, it might be fun to look underwater with water glasses. After the experience, please relax in Naganuma Town, which is the departure and arrival base. There are many attractive foods in the town, such as delicious farm restaurants, traditional Genghis Khan, soft serve ice cream with plenty of milk. Also, it would be nice to warm up your cold body at "Naganuma Onsen", and a day camp is also recommended. (Please contact us for tent rental)
