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.

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?

To be honest, it is difficult to find a place to take an activity tour by yourself. Gateway Tours can only accept one person per tour. (This is not a private tour as it is held at the same time as other tours.) It is many times more difficult to operate a Canadian canoe by yourself than it is to operate it with two people. For this reason, you will basically ride in the guide's canoe. The benefits are that you can leisurely go down the river, take photos and videos with your own camera, ask the guide various questions, and listen carefully to the stories of the field. Also, depending on the conditions on the day (mainly the wind direction), you can try a single-seater canoe in a separate boat from the guide. During the tour, you can learn about the history of the Mimi River and the Ainu, and stories unique to this area from the guide, and of course you can canoe while learning. The field is near New Chitose Airport and there is a free shuttle, so many people use it at the beginning or end of their trip, or during their free time on a business trip to Hokkaido. During the tour, we will give you free photos taken with a single-lens reflex camera to those who wish. [Recommended] ① You can participate by one person! ! ②Surprisingly few travel photos!! Gateway Tours will give you digital photos of your tour taken with a single-lens reflex camera!! Canoeing photos are lifelong memories. This service is only available at Gateway Tours! It's worth participating just for the photos. ③You can rest assured that your guide is a Hokkaido Governor-certified outdoor master guide, and also has other guide qualifications, rescue qualifications, and first aid qualifications.

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?
