"Akashiba Gorge" is one of the most beautiful scenic spots in Bandai-Asahi National Park. The area is covered with broad-leaved trees such as mountain maple, maple, and beech, and is a famous spot for autumn leaves that turn bright red every fall. It is said that the name Akashiba Gorge was given because it was called "Japanese red wall". The Arakawa River, which has a gorge, looks like a rapid current when viewed from National Route 113, but on this tour, you will tour a relatively calm area surrounded by granite rocks by canoe. Unlike canoeing on the lake, the field with a current is thrilling. After warming up, in the first half we will row back to the flow of the river. With a break on the way, the second half is a canoe down the valley. The view of Akashiba Gorge from the water with a guide is exceptional. Although it will be held rain or shine, it may be canceled at the discretion of the local guide, such as when the flow of the river is very fast. In that case, the fee will be fully refunded. Basic pets cannot ride together. Please contact us if you have enough experience.

An experience activity where you can encounter a different view of the world than ever before! Tree climbing is an experience where you can climb a tree using a special rope, saddle (safety belt), and safety protective gear, and experience a sense of unity with trees, forests, and nature. activity. You can make new discoveries by looking at the forest from a different perspective, "from the top of the tree", and by experiencing the nature of the top of the tree using your five senses. Spend time climbing the same tree with family and friends, camping in a tree using a tree boat (a type of hammock), birdwatching and observing nature, and the possibilities are endless. From children to adults, and even challengers (we call people with disabilities who work hard every day as challengers), in the process of looking up at a tree and setting their own goals and climbing it with their own strength, courage and confidence grow. As you come, you will get a feeling of satisfaction that you have never tasted before. Hands-on activities are an endless challenge to yourself and are never meant to compete with others, so the key is to enjoy them at your own pace. Come on, let's climb a tree together! You're not the only one playing a role in tree climbing, making friends with trees and developing a sense of respect for nature. Trees, forests, all natural environments play a leading role. I enter the forest with the feeling of "Please play with me today" to the tree that will experience tree climbing. When you climb a tree and become friends with it, and when you come down from the top of the tree, you will develop a "heart" that values ​​nature. History of tree climbing Today, in America, the birthplace of tree climbing, tree climbing is a technique developed by American arborists to manage trees and preserve genetic resources. Arborists have a global organization called ISA (International Society of Arboriculture). Originally, tree climbing was a technique reserved for some arborists, but in 1983, Peter Jenkins established Tree Climbers International (TCI) in Atlanta, Georgia so that the general public could enjoy it as a recreational activity. An organization was established and spread. Starting with the United States, TCI has expanded its network to Canada, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, and Japan.

This is a tour to go to the river where Oyanirami live and catch them with a net. Other fish that live here include Yoshinobori, crayfish, and dragonfly larvae.

For young children, they will mainly use bait fishing and reel them in when they catch something. ~Tour flow~ Meet at Chofu Station or Fukadai Nigiwai no Sato at 8:00 (for those who are picking up and dropping off by car). We will explain the characteristics of Oyanirami, how to raise them, and about the near-threatened species, and we will learn that they are carnivorous fish. Oyanirami are freshwater fish belonging to the family Ctenidae of the order Perciformes, and are carnivorous, eating crustaceans, aquatic insects, and small fish. They react quickly to anything that moves and swallow them whole with their large mouths. There are many unusual names for fish, but the standard Japanese name "Oyanirami" is said to have been given because of the way the male protects the eggs, "the parent glares", but there are various theories about the origin of the Japanese name.
