"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.

I can't do normal snorkeling anymore! What does that mean? In order to see the beautiful ocean, you have to swim more than 500 meters round trip from the beach in shallow waters, so to be honest, you need a lot of physical strength... After the tour, the faces of the customers from other tour companies were exhausted, and we guides also love the ocean and go there often, but it would be better if we didn't have to swim back and forth in these shallow waters. When I thought that, I came up with this activity! What's so good about it? ☆You can enjoy both SUP and snorkeling to your heart's content without having to cut time! (The tour takes an average of 4 hours?) ☆You can easily go to the point where you can see beautiful coral reefs, lots of fish, and sea turtles by SUP✨☆It's a private tour just for you, so you can swim until you get tired, relax on the SUP, and play as much as you like♪☆Children, beginners, and those who are worried about the ocean can get on the SUP at any time, so it's safe and secure! ☆You can take lots of photos and videos! At LYHAHA ishigakijima, we try to offer private tours, rather than sharing with other customers, so that our customers can enjoy the tour freely! Since it's a private tour, even inexperienced people can enjoy it at their own pace ☆ We will guide you with all our might, taking safety into consideration, so that you can have the most enjoyable time! *Currently, we do not offer a shuttle service, but depending on the time and number of people, we may be able to provide a shuttle service, so please send us a message if you would like this service ☆

Meet at Chofu Station or Fukadai Fureai no Sato and go around 6 spots in the Nogawa River on an electric bicycle (with front and rear child seats, children's bicycles are available in various sizes). The tour lasts 2 hours. In the first half, you will fish for carp and catfish with bread. Even children can easily catch them, but the average size is about 60 cm, so you may not be able to catch them. The pull is strong, so please do your best to catch them. In the second half, if the fishing conditions are not good, you will experience searching the river in waders (free fool boots) or marine shoes. The creatures that can be caught are mainly Japanese mitten crabs, Moroko, Minnows, Japanese chibu, Yoshinobori, loach, Ukigori, black killifish, crayfish, and turtles. You can also take them home.

Limited to summer, this is a nightly beetle and stag beetle hunting tour, aimed at small children. We will mainly hold the event on weekdays when there is less competition. We apologize for the late hours, but we would be happy if we could help you make summer memories with your children. We look forward to your early reservations. ▼Experience content On the day, we will visit several points and introduce tips for observation. We will observe beetles and stag beetles. You can see cicadas emerging, long-eared beetles, stag beetles, brown beetles, and on rare occasions, raccoon dogs. It is safe at night as there are few wasps. The number of observations varies depending on the weather, but generally ranges from a few to a few dozen at most, with fewer observed before and after rain. Please understand that we cannot commit to the number of observations due to the natural environment. All the insects we observed will be released locally, and everyone will be given the same insects that they have captured in the local areas (mainly Ibaraki and Tochigi prefectures). ▼About gathering・Customers by car or on foot: Please come directly to the point at 7:00 pm *Details will be provided only to guests who have made a reservation ▼Dispersal ends around 8:30 pm, and you can return by train (JR) .
