All Reviews for River and Lake Activities

Unfortunately, the strong winds made it difficult to head out onto the lake, so I changed my plans and explored the Chitose River instead. The power of nature is unbeatable...

The Chitose River was also beautifully clear and transparent. I enjoyed ducking under the trees, discovering small waterfalls, and was shown points where I could see fish. It was a delightful adventure.

Next time, I would like to visit during a warmer season and try going out onto the lake.

あいにくの強風で湖に出ようにも前に進まず
予定を変更して千歳川を散策しました。
自然の力にはかないません･･･

千歳川も充分透明できれいでした。
木立の下をくぐったり、小さな滝を見つけたり
魚が見れるポイントを教えて頂いたり
冒険気分を満喫出来ました。

今度はもう少し暖かい時期に訪れて、湖に出てみたいです。

I was able to experience nature in Yakushima. On the day of the trip, I went to Anbo Port and kayaked towards the mountains from the port. Although I was a beginner, I was taught the techniques for paddling carefully. Along the way, we took breaks, and upstream, I was even able to dive into the river.

The weather was wonderful, warm, and with little wind, making it very enjoyable!

My 4-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter skillfully used their children's paddles and paddled along!

We started paddling from the Chitose River, so we were able to see fish, and the kids were very satisfied.

Ido, who taught us how to paddle and guided us, was very kind, took many photos, and was great with the kids. Plus, he recommended a delicious pork bowl restaurant! It was really tasty♡

The only thing I found disappointing was that the weather was too nice, and the glare on the lake's surface was strong, so we couldn't see the scenery reflected on the water. Still, since we were in a clear kayak, I could see well through the bottom, even though the reflections and waves made it hard to see outside!

If I have the chance again, I hope to see the scenery as if floating in the sky!

(For reference, I think the kids were fine in long-sleeved, long-pants rash guards. I put a windbreaker over them. Their sleeves and pants got a little wet. The kids felt cold after getting back to shore, so I think it would have been better to bring their shoes and outerwear in waterproof bags.)

天気に恵まれ暖かく、風も少なく、とても楽しめました！

4歳の息子と6歳の娘も子供用のパドルを上手に使い、漕いでいました！

千歳川から漕ぎ始めたので、魚も見れて子供達は大満足でした。

漕ぎ方を教えてくれ、案内してくれるイドさんは、とても親切で、たくさん写真も撮ってくれ、子供の扱いも上手でした。
それに、美味しい豚丼のお店も教えてくれました！とっても美味しかったです♡

私が唯一残念だったのは、天気が良すぎて湖面の照り返しが強く、湖面に景色が映る感じではなかったことです。
それでもクリアカヤックだったので、カヤックの外だと光の反射や波でよく見えない湖の中も、股の間からよく見えて楽しめました！

また、機会があれば、空に浮いているかのような景色が見れればと思います！

(参考までに、服装は子供も長袖長ズボンのラッシュガードにして問題なかったと思います。子供にはその上にウィンドブレーカーを着せました。

袖やズボンが少し濡れた程度でした。子供たちは、岸に上がってから寒がったので、靴と羽織り物は防水袋(防水袋)に入れて持って行けばよかったかも、と思います。
