The charm of the Shimanto River is that rapids and gentle currents alternate. If you want to ride the current of the Shimanto River and go down the river, we recommend the River SUP experience. Go on an adventure down the Shimanto River while looking at the "submerged bridge" that is synonymous with the Shimanto River and the beautiful river scenery that cannot be seen from the road! It is a course of about 6 km starting from the submerged bridge and returning to Mishima Campsite in half a day, tackling two rapids. Before departure, SIJ and SUPA certified instructors will give a thorough lecture on the basics of SUP and river safety. You will be addicted to the exhilaration of paddling a long distance and riding the rapids! If you are worried about children or others going through rapids, we will respond flexibly, such as having the guide ride the SUP, so please do not worry.

Try the popular SUP! A JRCA certified SUP instructor will guide you. Stand up on a surfboard and paddle! This is a plan for beginners of stand-up paddle, commonly known as river SUP, which is done on the river. Many people worry about whether they can stand and paddle, but there is no problem because lessons are included! First, there is a lesson on how to get on and off the SUP, how to paddle, posture, control, and how to recover after falling, so even beginners can participate with confidence. After the lesson, we will do a mini touring of about 1.5 km in a gentle current section. Once you get used to it, you can take a walk freely, or if you want to learn more, you can continue to learn. You can relax by lying on the board and looking at the scenery, or you can walk along the shore and look for creatures, or you can focus on balance and train your core. There are endless ways to enjoy it ♪ If you request it, you can swim in the river or jump off the rocks. If you want to ride with your child, there is also a two-seater version. Please note that we may not have it in stock. *We do not go down the rapids (where there are waves).

Since your feet are close to the water surface, it feels very open. Even if you fall off, you can recover by climbing back onto the board since you're close to the water. If you get tired of standing and paddling, you can even lie down and come down!
