Designed for beginners to enjoy with peace of mind, it is chosen by many guests. = Double seater = Recommended for families with small children or when riding with elderly people. You can experience the fun of rowing together in unison. Mangrove forests are places that are affected by the ebb and flow of the ocean tides. The characteristic of this tour is that you can enjoy different scenery depending on the ebb and flow of the tides. At low tide, it is easy to observe the ecosystem under the water, and at high tide, you can enjoy the magnificent view of the mangroves from the water. Experience the extraordinary beauty of each time of day when you join the tour and enjoy a new encounter with the nature of Amami. Our tours go from the upstream of the river to the mouth of the river. The course then mainly returns upstream from the river mouth. You can choose the meeting place according to your convenience.

※※※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.
