Take a high-speed boat tour of the Otaru Blue Cave. The boat is covered, so you won't get wet even in light rain or waves. There are ample seats for those concerned about sunburn, and there are bench seats so you can sit next to your children. Enjoy the unique experiences of speed, thrills, and excitement, while visiting the Otaru Aquarium, a famous rock climbing spot, the remains of a Showa-era amusement park, and a 100-meter cliff before arriving at the entrance to the Blue Cave. Perfect for taking photos of the cave and Mado-iwa Rock! The Prolomarine boat is also the only one that allows you to move around the boat, allowing you to capture photos from the angle you want. The blue color of the water in front of the cave changes depending on the weather and season. On clear, calm days, you can even see wild sea urchins up close next to the cave. This exciting activity cruise, with its spectacular views only available from the ocean side, is a hugely popular tourist spot in Otaru. Don't miss this opportunity! The reliable cruise and feeding of seagulls are popular. On July 17th at around 2pm, a part of the upper part of the entrance to the Blue Cave collapsed. Until it is confirmed to be safe, we will not be entering the cave and have changed the itinerary so that you can view the cave from the outside.

Let's search for and catch underwater creatures that you can't usually see in the river near the popular ballpark, S-Con Field! The Watatsu River is a first-class river with a length of 14.2 kilometers that originates in Kamiwatatsu, Kitahiroshima City, and flows into the Chitose River. The town of Kitahiroshima began in 1884 when 25 households and 103 people who moved from Hiroshima Prefecture settled along this river. If you rummage through the bushes with a dip net, you will see various aquatic creatures. The river is just under 15 kilometers long, but you will be interested in the diverse creatures. Depending on the season, there will be guides from students studying aquatic life at a vocational school, so you can ask them about various things. You can learn about the rich water environment of Kitahiroshima and the Ishikari region, and our water activities can be used as a project for elementary school students' independent research or as a way to enjoy playing safely near the water.

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)

This half-day experience plan is available only on weekdays and during the summer vacation period, and is based on the concept of fishing while using the fishing methods that the guide is good at. I think the best part of fishing is the excitement of casting the line to lure the fish, the feeling of resistance when you pull it, the thrill of setting the hook, and the sense of accomplishment when you catch a fish. However, if you try to do it by imitating what you see in the first introduction, you will often end up just waiting...I was one of those people, and now I work as a guide and write the explanations. I can understand how you feel, as you may feel hesitant to ask acquaintances or friends who know something, but you may also feel hesitant to try fishing alone. You may also have to think about what to do with the fish you catch. This plan is designed to be a prologue to your first fishing experience. Basically, there will be no other customers mixed in, so you can enjoy it without any hesitation. We will help you to fully enjoy the five and sixth senses you acquire through fishing, and lead you to the next step. We will cover the basics of fishing equipment, and use tools that are sold at 100 yen shops that everyone knows. Once you know what equipment you need, you can get everything you need on your own. We can also provide equipment if you wish. The trip takes place near Ishikari Bay New Port, close to Sapporo. Each guide has their own specialty, but we hope that you will enjoy the joy of catching a fish no matter what method you use. There are also famous restaurants nearby, such as Costco Ishikari, Sato Suisan Salmon Factory, and Ramen Shingen, so there is plenty to enjoy after fishing. We look forward to supporting your debut!!

Otaru Blue Cave Attraction Cruise on a high-speed boat! This great value plan includes the same Blue Cave cruise as during the day, plus a sunset cruise if the weather is clear. During the summer, the light is strong, so the cave remains a beautiful blue even after 6pm!! All photos shown are from the evening tour, with no editing required. The overall brightness changes on the way there and back, and you can even see the sunset, so there are plenty of photo opportunities. There are only a few companies that offer sunset tours, so this is recommended for those with ample time. ★Around 2pm on July 17th, a portion of the top of the Blue Cave entrance collapsed. Until safety is confirmed, we have changed the itinerary so that you will not be allowed inside the cave, but will instead view the cave from outside.
