[Orion Ishigakijima Points] ★Private tour for small groups! ★Beginners and children are welcome! ★Shuttle service available! ★Free photo data! ★Hot showers and changing rooms available! ★Very popular with small children! Paddle not only in the river but also in the sea for a satisfying experience! Starting from a beach that resembles the original landscape of Okinawa, weave through the mangroves to the tidal flats in the back. You can enjoy both the sea and the river. Everyone from babies to grandparents can play together. [About the tour start time] The tour start time is set taking into account the tides. We will contact you after your reservation is confirmed to confirm the exact start time. Enjoy kayaking/SUP while being rocked by the waves on the wide, bright sea. Even beginners can practice while actually moving forward. By the time you reach the river, you will have improved quite a bit. Once you pass under the bridge, the world of mangrove virgin forest spreads out before you. Slowly move forward on the calm river surface without waves. The mangroves get closer and closer. Crabs are hiding at the base. Birds are watching you. Take pictures of such a scene and go further in. Soon, the wide tidal flats come into view. Many crabs and other creatures live on the tidal flats. The moment you step on the tidal flats, gobies and many crabs fly away from your feet. Birds ring out overhead. Crabs peek out from their holes. If you listen carefully, you can hear all kinds of voices and sounds. It's lively in the summer, but when it cools down, it becomes quiet. In the hot season, you can even swim. We explain about the creatures and catch them to observe. I want the children to know the fun of discovering them for themselves! After spending some time in this other world, we go down the river again and head to the sea, realizing that we have become quite skilled at kayaking/SUP. When we come out of the narrow river, the sea feels much wider. We head for the finish line, either leisurely or with effort.

Enjoy the scenery, see underwater creatures, and enjoy nature! You can enjoy rowing with a tool called "paddle" with plates called "blades" 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. A veteran instructor accompanies the tour, and the river is so relaxing that even beginners can go down, so families and couples who are new to kayaking can safely and safely go down the river. We will teach you how to hold the paddle, how to row, and how to ride. In the beginning, you will have plenty of time to practice, so you won't suddenly go down the river. Once you get used to kayaking, start going down the river! ! Since the river is spacious, you can control the kayak by yourself and get a good feel for steering the boat!

Please bring a marine scrub, as it is required from spring, the end of March to autumn and the end of October.

We look forward to your participation and application. If you want to take some fish home, please bring a plastic case and a bubbler (battery-operated, only the fish need oxygen). There are many paid parking lots at the meeting point. They are located in and around the market. We will meet 10 minutes before the meeting point on the day and move there.

For families, how about a 3-hour fishing tour from early morning, afternoon, or evening when you are staying in the Fuji Five Lakes area? We also offer one-day sightseeing guides, skiing and snowboarding lessons, and Jukai and cave tours. This is a nature experience tour around Mt. Fuji, and is basically an experiential weekend plan for elementary school students and pre-schoolers who want to enjoy the great outdoors around Fuji. Girls can also participate as children. We look forward to your participation as a parent and child. Please arrive at Lake Motosu by 8:00 a.m. Fishing is best in the morning. In the summer, it is also possible to catch them in the evening. They also have the habit of eating stink bugs and cicadas. On the day, we will meet at Lake Motosu and start fishing for rainbow trout early in the morning at Lake Motosu. The theme is fish, animals, and insects in the great outdoors. We will give a fishing lecture in the morning and aim for native rainbow trout. While you are not catching any fish, we will plan various things to enjoy, such as rummaging around for Yoshinobori and catching insects (there are beautiful stink bugs), observing wild birds, and looking for driftwood. Please take this opportunity to enjoy rainbow trout fishing. Experience a pull that is far superior to that of trout caught at managed fishing areas. You can take home up to 10 fish you catch. Please bring ice in a cooler box. It is also convenient to bring a folding chair. The best time to fish is in winter, when you can fish in shallow waters, and in spring and autumn, you can fish a little deeper, and in summer, you can cast from the cliff and search for areas around 30 to 50 meters. So, this is a fishing that can be done all season, but the fish in North America are lively and delicious in the cold. Please purchase a fishing ticket under the supervision of the Lake Motosu Fisheries Cooperative Association. It costs 1,000 yen for adults. Also, I have been living here for 30 years. I have a villa near Mt. Fuji at 1,200 meters, so please contact me for sightseeing, meals, plans, etc. Recommended places are Fujinomiya Yakisoba, Mume-san Fujiyoshida Udon, Takegawa Hoto, Kosaku Hills Burger, Hand-made Soba at Lake Kawaguchi Oshino Hakkai, and Ikemoto Chaya Sightseeing, which has a Fuji Trout Farm, feeding, and managed fishing area.

Held from spring to autumn Fishing for Japanese eels in the brackish waters of rivers Part 1: 8:00-10:30 Part 2: 10:30-13:00 Part 3: 13:30-16:00 Part 4: 16:00-18:30 This is a tour to fish for eels at the mouths of rivers that run through Tokyo. Japanese eels are born in the western waters of the Mariana Islands. They grow in rivers not only in Japan but also in East Asia, including China, Taiwan, and the Korean Peninsula, and are known to return to the Mariana Islands to spawn. Japanese eels (Anguilla japonica), which belong to the Anguilla genus of the eel family, are widely distributed in East Asia, including Japan, China, Taiwan, and Korea. In Japan, they mainly live south of Honshu, but there have been cases of them being caught in Hokkaido. Rental tackle, fishing rod, and equipment are included, so you can participate empty-handed. Two patterns of fishing will be done: casting fishing and plastic bottle tackle fishing, using earthworms as bait. While waiting for the tackle, you can fish for goby at your feet. The main target is eels, but sometimes you can also catch goby, crabs, and seigo. The tour lasts about 3 hours. Please bring a headlamp, a handy light, and drinks. *If you want to take the fish home, please bring an aeration device (battery-powered bubbler) to prevent oxygen deficiency, a plastic case or fishing bucket to prevent escape, and a cooler box. By train: 15 minutes walk from JR Joban Line or Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line By car: Please use a nearby parking lot Meeting place: Near the Seven-Eleven Katsushika Kosuge 1-chome store. We will send you a map in advance, so please walk to the point. Migration of Japanese eels Japanese eels spawn in the summer in the waters west of the Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean. After hatching, they become willow-leaf-shaped larvae called leptocephalus. Glass eels are carried by ocean currents and reach East Asia in about six months, then transform into long, cylindrical glass eels and ride the high tide into rivers. After that, their transparent bodies start to take on color, and they are called yellow eels. During the yellow eel stage, eels grow large, and eat a variety of foods, including shrimp, crabs, small fish, and insects. The environment in which Japanese eels spend their growth period is wide, from coastal areas to the upper reaches of rivers, and includes not only freshwater areas but also brackish water and seawater. After several years to a dozen years, when they grow to a size of about 40 cm or more for males and about 50 cm or more for females, they begin to mature and are called silver eels. Silver eels leave their familiar rivers and coastal areas and travel to spawning grounds from autumn to winter. They reach the spawning grounds in the Marianas in about six months, spawn, and then end their life. PS: The minimum number of participants is 5 or more.
