Since the rocks are exposed in places, it is slippery, so marine shoes are essential for this tour. (Free rental of idiot boots from autumn to spring) We plan to head upstream for about 1.5 hours in a swimsuit and marine shoes while being explained about the creatures. We plan to search for river crabs and mitten crabs, mainly scavenger goby, flat shrimp, and snake black dragonfly larvae in the rock river.
