The path is basically well-maintained, so even small children (from 5 years old) can participate.

Canoeing and kayaking are popular waterside activities. And in the Sapporo area, which is blessed with water resources such as the Ishikari River, there are many waterfronts that you can get close to. Nonetheless, it may be difficult to play alone, and it may be difficult to assess the risks of playing in nature. This experience is a kind of boat called "inflatable kayak", and you can enjoy rowing a calm river or flat lake surface with a tool called "paddle" with a board called "blade" 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. In this plan, the maximum number of boats managed by the guide in charge is reduced under the environment of with corona, so you can enjoy the inflatable kayak experience almost privately. Especially recommended for families and small groups. Of course, we will give you a thorough lecture on how to maneuver the boat at the beginning, so please do not worry. Surrounded by nature, the area around the Chitose River is in harmony with nature, with red-crowned cranes inhabiting the reservoir, making it the perfect place for convenience and refreshment!! The chirping of birds, the presence of great egrets and gray herons, the movement of carp and crucian carp hiding in the roots of reeds, and the shoals of salmon that come upstream in the autumn will surely arouse your interest. During warmer months, it might be fun to look underwater with water glasses. After the experience, please relax in Naganuma Town, which is the departure and arrival base. There are many attractive foods in the town, such as delicious farm restaurants, traditional Genghis Khan, soft serve ice cream with plenty of milk. Also, it would be nice to warm up your cold body at "Naganuma Onsen", and a day camp is also recommended. (Please contact us for tent rental)

Explore the riverside near the popular Escon Field ballpark and discover underwater creatures you wouldn't normally see! The Wattsu River is a 14.2-kilometer-long, first-class river that originates in Kamiwattsu, Kitahiroshima City, and flows into the Chitose River. The town of Kitahiroshima began in 1884, when 103 people from 25 households immigrated from Hiroshima Prefecture and settled along the river. While the area now boasts a waterfront environment, the river has witnessed the town's continued development. Rummaging through the undergrowth with a dip net, you'll encounter a variety of aquatic creatures. The river is just under 15 kilometers long, but its diverse habitat will surely pique your interest. Depending on the season, students studying aquatic life at a vocational school will also be available as guides, so be sure to ask them questions. You can learn about the rich water environment of Kitahiroshima and the Ishikari region, and enjoy our water activities as a project for elementary school students' independent research or as a way to safely enjoy playing near water. After the experience, you might also want to visit Escon Field Hokkaido, the ballpark of your dreams.

The fishing spots are the Wattsu River in Kitahiroshima and the Izari River that flows through the city of Eniwa. Of course, fish live in the city. They can be found even in places where the river is narrow or shallow, making it seem like there would be no fish. Trees on the riverside block the sunlight, and cold water flows at your feet. Enjoy fishing in such places while escaping the summer heat. Use a long rod or a multipurpose rod and use earthworms as bait. If you are not good at touching insects or fish, don't worry, the guide will support you. The location is Eniwa City. It is the largest of the many tributaries that flow into the Chitose River, and its source is Gyōdake, with a length of 46.8 kilometers. The Izari River Dam is located upstream, about 15 kilometers from Eniwa city, relatively close to the urban area.
