The fish is simply delicious! This is a fishing pond. You can enjoy fishing in a natural environment using meltwater from the Zao mountain range. The five ponds have water so clear that you can clearly see the patterns of the fish. The stream that runs through the premises plays a beautiful sound. You can grill the fish you catch yourself over charcoal. In addition to charcoal-raised char, yamame, and rainbow trout in Zao, there is also coho salmon, a specialty of Miyagi Prefecture. A wide range of fish are released, from small ones with a body length of 10 cm to ones over 70 cm and 5 kg. You can come empty-handed, and even a complete beginner can catch an average of six fish. Everyone, regardless of gender, children or adults, can enjoy the experience. The speciality pork soup and rice balls are included.

It is a SUP tour with a total length of about 4 km and about 3 hours. Since it is a SUP tour that goes down a very calm river with no flow, beginners, women and children can enjoy it with confidence! I will take a picture of enjoying SUP with Zao's remaining snow and Ichimoku Senbonzakura in full bloom, so it will surely be a memory of my life! First, I will explain how to use the paddle for preparatory exercises. Ride the sap and give a lecture on how to paddle, then start slowly! This river is very shallow and there are many places where you can reach your feet. We will also teach you simple experience training and various rowing and riding methods during the cruise! Free photography. We will hand over the data on the spot after the tour. We will pick you up from the destination of the tour to the meeting place by car. Attention * There is a toilet nearby, but please come after changing clothes and toilets. * There are many days when the wind is weak and the flow is calm in the morning. Especially recommended for beginners in the morning! * Children under elementary school age must join the tour with their parents. Only children cannot be accepted. The river has a gentle flow, so it is suitable for beginners who are worried about riding sap, dog sap, those who want to ride with parents and children, and group recreation such as companies. When parents and children are riding together, some people are riding from 3 years old.
