Enjoy a relaxing canoeing and kayaking experience on the heart-shaped lake "Lake Aoki" in Nagano Prefecture! Enjoy the area with plenty of outdoor spots such as campsites!

2019/04/01

Lake Suwa and Lake Nojiri are famous in Nagano Prefecture, so to be honest, I had no idea what Lake Aoki was like, but it is surrounded by mountains such as the Northern Alps and the Ushiro Tateyama mountain range, and boasts the best water quality in Nagano Prefecture in terms of transparency. By the way, it seems to belong to the "Ninina Three Lakes" along with Lake Kizaki and Lake Nakatsuna, which are also in Nagano Prefecture. I don't know the details of why they are counted. And as my friend said, there are many campsites and ski resorts in the surrounding area, and it seems to be an area where many tourists visit to enjoy the nature that shows different faces throughout the year.

It is basically a leisure sport in which you work together to go down the river in an exhilarating manner, and the sense of accomplishment you get from clearing the course through collaboration will fill you with a sense of fulfillment. In addition to the thrill of the rapids, there are other elements to rafting that you can enjoy. That is, you can leisurely enjoy the spectacular scenery of nature in the calm river flow. So, the tourist spot we will introduce this time is the Tenryu River, which has both violent rapids and beautiful scenery. The Tenryu River is located in Iida City, Nagano Prefecture, and flows through the vast nature of Minami Shinshu. Let's check out the plans for a rafting experience in this great location!

Fly in the sky over Lake Yamanaka in the morning! Experience the "jet pack" that has been talked about in TV commercials!

2018/06/28

For those unfamiliar with marine sports, let me explain a little about "jetpacks." They were originally designed as personal vehicles for moving through the air in the galaxy, and are devices with high mobility in the air. They are also called jet rev flyers, and allow you to fly around the water's surface wearing a backpack that sprays water from nozzles on both sides. It is a dynamic sport that is still rare not only in Japan, but around the world.

Water sports are featured in many articles on this blog. The most popular ones are wakeboarding, banana boats, hoverboards, jet skis, and many other boat-based activities. These water sports are offered in a variety of places, both on the sea and on lakes, so many readers who love water activities should have experienced them. However, even if you have experience with the above water sports, have you ever tried flying through the air above the water? The plan I would like to recommend this time is a new type of play called ``flyboarding,'' which allows you to fly through the air. Flyboarding has become more well-known recently, as it has been seen more and more often on TV and in commercials. If you have not tried it yet, please pay attention to it.

After image training on land, you will set sail, and on the water you will receive careful instruction according to your fitness level, so we encourage those with no prior experience to feel free to give it a try.

Scream in excitement at the quiet summer resort of Lake Yamanaka! Introducing the latest marine content!

2018/06/17

Lake Yamanaka is famous for its gently swaying waves and the spectacular view of Mt. Fuji from the mountain ridges. Who would have imagined that screams would echo across the lake? In fact, a super-new marine sport that has been making waves recently has appeared on Lake Yamanaka. It's called "hurricane boating." It's an unfamiliar name, but it's a super-exhilarating water sport that has already become a hot topic at overseas resorts. You can have an unknown experience of riding on a large float about 5m in diameter, being pulled by a boat, and racing across the water at high speed. You may think that just riding at high speed is normal, but the hurricane boat has more features than that. The hurricane boat spins around like a top! The experience of riding on the water in a great location where you can look up at Mt. Fuji on a float that runs around at high speed with strong centrifugal force is sure to be an encounter with the unknown.

"SUP" is an abbreviation of "Stand Up Paddleboard". It is a form of cruising on the water by standing on a large surfboard and paddling, an ocean sport that originated in Hawaii. Recently, paddlers who enjoy it as a "part of their lifestyle" like surfing have increased, and in the past few years, they have become more common on various beaches, lakes, and rivers around the country. There are three main types of boats: competitive/racing types, all-round types for surfing and cruising, and high-performance types that pursue aggressive surfing movements. The most commonly used boats are all-round types suitable for cruising and surfing.

Climb Mt. Fuji on a mountain bike! Check out this summer's hottest activity on Mt. Fuji!

2018/06/07

So yesterday we introduced the Mt. Fuji Downhill cycling experience, where you ride an MTB (mountain bike) down a 27km steep mountain path starting from the 5th Station of the Fuji Subaru Line on Mt. Fuji, but now we're going to look into the basic information about the other featured plan, the Mt. Fuji Hill Climb. You're probably wondering what a hill climb is, right? Basically, the downhill is a tour where you just go down, while the hill climb is a plan where you experience the whole process, from going up to going down, all by bicycle. That sounds like a super tough activity, doesn't it? But it says that even people who aren't confident in their physical strength can do it, so let's take a look at the details. First, here are the plans that can be booked:

Cycling 27km downhill on the slopes of Mt. Fuji?! I discovered a mountain biking activity that looks super fun!

2018/06/06

Since the field is on the side of Mt. Fuji, it seems like it would be pretty cool even in summer, and if the weather is good, it would be a great experience. I once saw a video from overseas where someone was downhill skateboarding down a mountain path, which looked super fun, but I'm too scared to do that, but I think I could enjoy it confidently on a bicycle. Also, as you can see in the photo, the scenery would be amazing in the summer when there is lots of greenery. I'm sure there are many people who enjoy it on tours, but I can't ride a motorcycle, and I'd love to be able to enjoy the nature of Mt. Fuji while feeling the wind flowing by. I wonder how long it takes to go 27km? I wonder if it's just in an instant...

We've found a discounted rate plan for wakeboarding, a classic summer activity to enjoy at Lake Yamanaka!

2018/05/10

This time, I looked into the popular "wakeboarding" experience, which could be said to be the king of lake activities! I borrowed a video of Gachapin trying it out lol It's always been a water sport I've wanted to try, so I'm planning to try it for the first time at Lake Yamanaka this summer. It seems to have become popular again recently, so I've heard that you need to make reservations early... I've looked up the details of some plans that caught my eye from my search, so I'll share them with you.

I want to try a hoverboard at Lake Yamanaka and see what a professional would do! This is one of the activities I'll be trying out this summer!

2018/05/02

What I'm interested in is the "hoverboard," a water pressure activity similar to the "flyboard"! First of all, doesn't it look incredibly cool to ride it? Of course, it's easy to imagine that it takes a lot of training to achieve the skills of this level, but it's fun to challenge yourself, thinking that if you get better, you can do it. Even if you can't do it, just aiming for it raises your spirits. I want to be able to float up with the water pressure and grab it.
