We will help you choose a kimono that suits you best from our selection and rent it for a day. (From June to September, we will use yukata.) It's nice that you don't have to worry about time. Traditional kimonos go well with the historical and atmospheric city of Otaru, with its gas lamps and music box museum. The kimonos we offer are retro-modern kimonos that go well with the retro townscape of Otaru. They are different in terms of comfort and the luster of the fabric. They will make a wonderful keepsake.

Even if you are a first-time canoeist, you can go canoeing down the Mimi River. It is a wonderful field that is hard to find even in Japan. The guide will ride in a separate canoe from the customer, and you will be the only one to steer the canoe and leisurely go down through the wetlands where there are many waterfowl. During the tour, you can learn about the history of the Mimi River and the Ainu, and other stories unique to this area, while canoeing and learning from the guide. The field is near New Chitose Airport, and the Mimi River can be seen from the sky when planes take off and land. This is a recommended tour that is perfect for a honeymoon or family trip that you can remember every time you visit Hokkaido in the future. "The tour was fun, but we don't have any photos!!" "We came together, but we don't have any photos of the two of us!!" During the tour, we will give away photos taken with a single-lens reflex camera to anyone who wants them. [Tour Recommendations 1.2.3] ① The river flows slowly, and even at its deepest, it is only about waist-deep for adults, so it is a very shallow river, so you can rest assured. You will not be sharing the canoe. ② There are surprisingly few travel photos! ! Gateway Tours will give you digital photos of your tour! You cannot take photos of yourself in a canoe from inside the canoe. Photos taken in a canoe are memories that will last a lifetime. This service is only available at Gateway Tours! It's worth participating just for the photos. ③You can rest assured that your guide is an outdoor master guide certified by the Hokkaido Prefectural Governor, and also has other guide qualifications, rescue qualifications, and first aid qualifications. *If you are participating with your family or alone, please apply from another plan. https://activityjapan.com/search/?addressAndKeyword=Gateway+Tours

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.

This is a plan limited to Douminwari (Hokkaido residents discount). In this day and age, everything is increasing in price. Hotel rates and activity tours are also increasing in price. It has become difficult for Hokkaido residents to travel to Hokkaido. We hope that customers in Hokkaido will learn about the good things about Hokkaido, so we will offer a price that is easy to participate in (up to 33% discount). (Example) For two adults, the usual price of 15,000 yen is 11,000 yen, a 4,000 yen discount. For two adults and two elementary school students, the usual price of 22,000 yen is 17,000 yen, a 5,000 yen discount. *Please show your identification on the day of the event, or live in Hokkaido. If you live outside of Hokkaido but attend a school or company in Hokkaido, we will apply if you have proof of identity. Even if you are a customer who is canoeing for the first time, you can go down the river right away on the Mimi River. It is a wonderful field that is hard to find even in Japan. The guide will ride in a separate canoe from the guests, and the guests will be the only ones who will be steering the canoe, leisurely descending through the wetlands where there are many waterfowl. During the tour, the guide will tell you about the history of the Mimi River and the Ainu, as well as stories unique to this area, and you will be able to experience canoeing while learning as well as canoeing. "The tour was fun, but I don't have any photos!!" "I came all the way here, but I don't have any photos!!" During the tour, we will give away photos taken with a single-lens reflex camera to those who request them for free. [Recommended] ① The river flows slowly, and even at its deepest, it is only about waist-deep for adults, so it is a very shallow river, so it is safe for children. ② There are surprisingly few travel photos!! Gateway Tours will give you digital photos of the tour taken with a single-lens reflex camera!! You cannot take photos of yourself in a canoe from inside the canoe. Tour photos of you on a canoe will be a lifelong memory! This service is only available at Gateway Tours! It is worth participating just for the photos. ③ The guide is a Hokkaido Governor-certified outdoor master guide, and has other guide qualifications, rescue qualifications, and first aid qualifications, so you can rest assured. We also have staff who hold childcare qualifications. *You can rent one or two canoes and everyone can ride together without worrying about other customers. *Families with large numbers of people or especially large parents or children may be asked to board two boats.

Everything you need is free to rent, so you can come empty-handed! This canoe tour is perfect for anything you want. Lake Poroto is a place where people have lived together as part of nature since ancient times. Although it is a small lake with a circumference of about 4 kilometers, it is a very rich lake packed with waterside nature such as forests, marshes, sand, swamps, and rivers. Take a leisurely canoe ride around Lake Poroto while listening to all about its nature, culture, and history! This is the plan. Lake Poroto is rich in nutrients brought from the mountains, and is home to many birds, fish, and animals, or where they visit in search of food. The scenery also changes drastically with each season, with skunk cabbage in spring, water lilies in summer, autumn leaves, and snow-covered snow in winter, so visitors never get bored. For those who want to leave the navigation to the guide and enjoy the lake at their own pace, we have not only Canadian canoes, but also air canoes with double paddles for those who want to paddle themselves! The meeting point is within walking distance of Upopoy, so it is very accessible! Why not enjoy Hokkaido's nature to your heart's content?
朝7時半からのカヌー体験でしたが、ちょうど良い曇り日で暑くなく、 また早朝のため他にカヌー客もいず、ポロト湖独り占めの贅沢な カヌー体験ができました。ガイドさんには湖や北海道の自然について 色々興味深い話を聞かせていただき大満足でした。白老ポロト湖でカヌーを体験されたい方には是非、お薦めします。

We'll talk about a lot of things, such as Hokkaido's wildlife and vegetation, Ainu culture, and the history of development, while enjoying the breeze of nature! [A boat tour with a great sense of stability!] River touring of about 8 kilometers from the meeting point, Daiichi Usakumai Bridge, to the area near Chitose City's Sports Center! You'll go down in a wide rafting boat, so there's almost no risk of capsizing! You can stop the boat along the way to look for creatures, or you can cool off by putting your feet in the river and going down the river. Enjoy the beautiful Chitose River with peace of mind! The boat will be steered by a safe and secure guide, so it's especially recommended for those who are worried about river rafting, families with children, and those who want to take their time taking photos! The boat can accommodate up to 7 adults, or 8 people if you include children, making it a great way to make some memorable trip memories!

Our family enjoy the trip very much. The young tour guide is nice and friendly. He has provided some tools for the kids to look into the water and catch the fish. The water is calm and clean. The trip suits small kids as well and I am sure they will find the trip quite adventurous.

A relaxing time at Sapporo's Okuzashiki "Jozankei" ♪ In the summer, you can feel the deep green valley and the refreshing breeze, and in the fall, the entire valley is colored with colored leaves. The valley looking up from the surface of the river is a spectacular view that you can't usually see!
とっても楽しかったです!!インストラクターの方々も親切な方達で、説明も丁寧でした。(私の理解力が乏しく腕前は下手くそでしたが。) 途中カヌーを降りて、お魚を探したり、石を投げて何回とべるかなどやり方も教えて貰って、すごく満喫できました。また是非参加したいです!! しいていえば、当日は天候が雨の予報だったため、現地はどんな様子かなどをメールなどでお知らせして貰えたりすると向かうまで安心なので、そんなシステムができるとよりありがたいなと思いました。

It was a surprise for my hubby's birthday and lots of fun for our family to take home beautiful glass pieces from Otaru with our designs on it. Many thanks ilponte! Agni
