Let's go down the Tokachi River with a trendy stand-up paddle! !! The river activity, commonly known as SUP, is currently gaining popularity. Applications are increasing year by year at the Tokachi Nature Center. With such a sap, go down the Tokachi River, a major river that represents Hokkaido! It is an activity where you can enjoy plenty of river play by rowing yourself, crossing the waves, making a big curve, and sometimes entering the water. Of course, it's not always the purpose to ride the stream (advanced riders can also ride the fast waves), and just paddling leisurely on a streamless river is enough to enjoy.
