A fishing line is hung from a hole made in the thickly frozen river surface to aim at the smelt swarming under the ice. You can enjoy the caught smelt as a tasting such as tempura and fried chicken. We use a farmer's home-made house, so we have perfect protection against the cold. On the day of the event, a free shuttle car is operated from the center of Sapporo city, making it convenient for round trips. If you are lucky, you may see red foxes, white-tailed eagles, and tundra swans. Why do not you experience a day to enjoy the special nature?

A popular canoe and kayak for activities that can be enjoyed by the water. However, it may be difficult to play individually. Also, it may be difficult for first-time users to evaluate the risks of playing in nature. This experience is a kind of boat called "inflatable kayak", and you can enjoy paddling on a relatively flat lake surface. Since the hull is a type that can be inflated with air, it has excellent maneuverability, transportability, and storability. It is smaller than a tent when it is deflated, and it is a compact vehicle that can be easily carried by a passenger car. Moreover, the rigidity of the hull is higher than the rubber boat you can imagine, so you can stand and ride depending on how you ride. With this plan, you can enjoy inflatable kayak touring in a private sense on the north side of Bokyo Bridge of "Tobetsu Owl Lake" in Tobetsu Town, which is north of Sapporo. Under the environment of Wiz Corona, the number of boats per event is limited, so it is especially recommended for families and small groups. Of course, we will give a lecture on the basic maneuvering method, so please be assured even if you are new to the ship. Basically, it is a course that goes around the north side of the lake. You can row through landscapes like floating islands and dead trees, observe birds in shallow water, and depending on the season, white-tailed eagles live. Enjoying the dam lake surrounded by thick forests in the Aoyama area, which was originally a farmland, is also a great refreshment! The movements of carp and crucian carp will also be intriguing. Why don't you take this opportunity to get familiar with 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)

Canoeing and kayaking are popular waterside activities. However, the threshold may be high to play alone suddenly. Also, it may be difficult for first-time players to assess the risks involved in playing in nature. This experience is a kind of boat called "inflatable kayak", and you can enjoy paddling calm rivers and flat lakes. The hull is inflatable with air, so it has excellent mobility, transportability, and storage. Inflating with air is also completed in about 5 minutes per boat with a pump that draws electricity from the cigarette lighter socket of the car. In this plan, you can enjoy an inflatable kayak experience in a private sense at "Tobetsu Owl Lake" in Tobetsu Town, a town next to Sapporo. Due to the COVID-19 environment, the number of boats per tour is limited, so it is especially recommended for families and small groups.

[Tour recommendation 1, 2, 3] ① The river flows slowly, and even if it is deep, it is about the waist of an adult, so it is safe because it is a very shallow river. Canoes are also not carpooled. Aside from ②, there are few travel photos! ! Gateway Tours presents tour photos as data! ! You cannot take a picture of you riding a canoe from inside the canoe. A photo of you riding a canoe is a lifetime memory photo. This service is only available at Gateway Tours! The photos alone are worth attending.
