"Surikamigawa Dam" is the source of "Fukushima Water", which has won the highest gold award at the Monde Selection for four consecutive years. Please join us for an activity of kayaking around the lake, which has high water quality and is nurtured by beautiful nature.

It is a water activity that you can enjoy freely controlling because you sit inside the boat and the center of gravity is low and close to the water surface. Since it is an experience in an artificial dam lake, there is little risk of being swept away, and since motorized boats, fishing, and swimming are prohibited at Surikamigawa Dam, you can enjoy kayaking touring with peace of mind. Of course, the guide will teach you how to ride and paddle, and will accompany you during the tour, so even first-timers and children can participate with peace of mind.

※※※Due to the risk of heat stroke, guided tours of the Nageire-do Hall, which is a low mountain in midsummer, are suspended from late July to early September. Consultation is required※※※The National Treasure Nageire-do Hall is located on Mt. Mitoku in Misasa Town, Tottori Prefecture, and is known as the most dangerous national treasure in Japan. Come and worship at the hall, surrounded by the autumn yellow leaves of the forest, by walking along the Shugendo trail to the hall. You can view the hall from the remote worship site at the foot of the mountain, but you should walk the Shugendo trail with all your heart and soul, and purify yourself of the impurities of the Six Senses Cleansing, to worship at the hall up close. To worship at the hall up close, you will have to walk the steep Shugendo trail, climbing tree roots, climbing chains, and walking through rocky mountains, even though it is a short distance. You will have to go back and forth on the same path, but it is also dangerous when descending. Also, you must have at least two people to enter the mountain, so if you are traveling alone or doing solo activities, you will have to go with someone. In order to protect the natural environment and maintain Shugendo, trekking poles and other walking sticks are not allowed. A local guide will accompany you on the strict Shugendo experience, which can be dangerous, so you can experience Shugendo safely and with peace of mind. If you feel that you cannot go alone, please use a guide as a travel companion or Shugendo leader. *Mt. Mitoku itself is a mountain with an elevation of 899m, but the area where the Nageire Hall is located is a low mountain at an elevation of 400m. We do not recommend going to low mountains in midsummer, as the temperature is as high as in a town on the plains and there is a high risk of heatstroke. We do not operate tours from late July to early September. Please inquire.
