All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

Although the meeting place was a bit difficult to find, I received clear instructions when I called. The weather was nice, the water temperature was just right, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and the flow of the river. The river was clear, and I could see schools of fish. The staff also provided information about nearby cafes and delicious bakeries. During the rafting, they took photos at various points, but I was informed that all the photos would cost 2,000 yen. I wish they offered a cheaper option for fewer photos.

集合場所が分かりづらかったものの、電話したところ分かりやすく教えてもらいました。
天気も良く、水温も冷たすぎず、綺麗な景色と川の流れを楽しむことが出来ました。川は透き通っており魚の群れを見ることができました。
スタッフの方には近くのカフェや美味しいパン屋さん情報も教えて頂きました。
ラフティング 中も、所々で写真を撮っていただいたのですが、有料で2000円で全ての写真が含まれるとの事でした。枚数が少なくていいのでお安く販売して欲しかったです。

I participated in rafting with three friends. The meeting place was at Mikasa Ski Resort, and I was a bit confused at first, but the locals quickly guided me.

Once we got on the boat and entered the river, we experienced both some rough currents and calm areas, feeling the natural negative ions, which was absolutely amazing.

At the jumping spot along the way, I was able to jump from my preferred height, and it felt really great. The local staff were very kind, and I was able to enjoy myself wholeheartedly.

友達と4人でラフティングをしようということになり、参加させていただきました。集合場所は三笠スキー場で、最初は場所に戸惑いましたが、現地の方にすぐに案内して頂きました。
実際にボートに乗って川に出ると、流れが少し激しいところや、穏やかなところなどを下りながら、自然のマイナスイオンを感じることが出来てとても最高でした。
途中にある飛び込みスポットでは、自分の好きな高さから飛び込むをする事が出来て、とても気持ち良かったです。
現地のスタッフの方がとても親切で、心から楽しむ事が出来ました。

On the day of the activity, I arrived at the location 10 minutes early, but there was no instructor present, and I almost ended up playing park golf there. However, shortly after, the instructor arrived, and we set off. First, we jumped from the cliff into the rubber boat. I got scared thinking about people falling from that cliff, but it turned out to be a gentle slope into the river. At first, the water was very cold, but I gradually got used to it, and by the end, I was able to jump from about 8 meters, which felt amazing. The instructor's dog was especially cute and friendly. Spring is definitely the best time for this activity.

当日、10分前に現地に着きましたが、インストラクターの方がおらず、危うくそこのパークゴルフをしてしまいそうになりました。しかし、すこし後にインストラクターの方が来てくださり、いざ出発。まずはゴムボートを崖からぼーん。人もこの崖から落ちるのかと思うと怖くなりましたが、そんなことはなくなだらかなところから川へ。はじめはとても冷たかったが、徐々に慣れていき、最後には8メートルほどのところがジャンプもできて、とても気持ち良かったです。特にインストラクターの方が飼ってる犬がとても可愛く、人懐こかったです。春どきが一番アツいしいです。

This was my first time rafting, and I was very nervous, but the instructors taught us how to ride and move in a very thorough manner, so I was able to feel at ease while on the raft! Additionally, during the trip, the instructors shared many interesting and informative stories, so I never felt bored and was able to enjoy myself fully. I even jumped from the highest point, which was a valuable experience. I heard that the current is faster in early spring, so I definitely want to try it again then!

今回初めてのラフティングということで、とても緊張していたのですが、インストラクターの方々が丁寧に乗り方から移動の仕方などを教えていただいたので、安心して乗ることができました！また、道中もインストラクターの方がためになる話や面白い話をたくさん話していただいたので、少しも暇を感じることなく楽しむことができました。飛び込みも一番高いところから飛べたし、貴重な経験ができました。春先の方が流れが早いらしいので、春先も是非体験させていただこうと思いました！

I had a very valuable and enjoyable experience!
I would like to write about the experience and my impressions following the flow of the tour.

First, the meeting points listed by the travel agency and the tour company were different. However, it seems that this has already been corrected, so I don't think there's any need to worry. Since we were the only participants in this tour, they allowed us to proceed at our own pace, but the facility at the meeting point where we were supposed to change and use the restroom was closed, and the staff was not aware of this.
The transfer to the river where we started rafting involved descending steep cliffs and moving through bushes, which I felt might be quite hard for those with young children or elderly participants. However, those who are confident in their physical fitness will likely enjoy it a lot!
I had the image of rafting as going down rapid waters vigorously in a boat, but the river was very calm, and I was able to enjoy the scenery while chatting with the staff. The water was so clear that I could see all the way to the bottom, and there were many birds and fish, allowing us to fully enjoy nature! I heard there is also a stand-up paddleboarding tour. You can climb the rocky surfaces and jump off the cliffs.
After the rafting experience, we could purchase photos taken by the staff at many points for 1,000 yen. I thought there would be a shower afterward, but there was none. The water in the river was so clean that it didn't bother me too much, but I honestly felt a bit uncertain about that aspect. They provided a simple tent for changing, though.
The staff were friendly and funny, sharing many stories about the charm of Hokkaido while mixing in jokes! If you don't mind a more casual feel that is a bit different from a large, safe, and well-structured tour, I think you will really enjoy it! We ourselves had a very fun and valuable experience, and we are very satisfied. I definitely want to participate again! Thank you very much!

とても貴重で楽しい体験をすることができました！！
ここではツアーの流れに沿って体験内容と感想を書いていこうと思います。

まず、旅行会社とツアー会社によって記載された集合場所が違っていました。しかしそれに関してはもう訂正されたようなので心配ないと思います。今回のツアーの参加者は私たちだけだったこともあり、自分たちのペースに合わせてツアーを進めてくださいましたが、本来そこで着替えたりトイレを済ますはずの集合場所にある施設がしまっていて、そのことをスタッフが把握していませんでした。
ラフティングを開始する川までの移動は険しい崖を下ったり、草むらの中を移動したりと、幼い子供を連れた方や高齢の方にはかなりハードなのでは？と感じました。体力に自信のある方はそこも含めてかなり楽しめると思います！
ラフティングというと急流をボートで勢いよく下っていくというようなイメージを持っていましたが、川はとても穏やかで、スタッフと会話しながら周りの景色を楽しむことができました。川は本当に透き通るほど美しく、水が綺麗で底まで見ることができました。鳥や魚も多くいて大自然を満喫できました！サップのツアーもあるそうです。自力で岩肌を上り、崖から飛び込みもできます。
ラフティング体験後はスタッフがたくさんのポイントで撮ってくださった写真を1000円で購入することができました。私はその後シャワーを浴びたりできるのだと思っていたのですが、シャワーはありませんでした。川の水がとても綺麗だったのであまり気になりませんでしたが、その点に関しては正直少しどうなのかな、、、と感じました。着替えは簡易テントを用意してくださりそこでしましたが。
スタッフも気さくで面白い方で、ジョークを交えながら北海道の魅力をたくさん話してくださいました！大手の安全でしっかりとしたツアーとは少し違った、ラフな感じが気にならない方はとても楽しめると思います！私たち自身はとても楽しく貴重な体験をさせていただき、とても満足です。ぜひまた参加したいと思います！ありがとうございました！！

The guide was very knowledgeable and explained many things that I wouldn't have noticed if I had walked alone. I was able to observe various aspects of the Shiretoko forest, and I was taken to some beautiful scenic spots. It was definitely worth participating.

ガイドさんの知識が豊富で、自分だけで歩いたら気づかないようなことをたくさん説明してもらえました。知床の森についていろいろ観察でき、ちゃんと景色の良いところにも連れて行ってもらえました。参加したかいがありました。

I participated in a canoeing experience with my daughter. It was raining, so I was unsure whether to go, but I decided to join, and it was the right choice! I was able to enjoy the unique scenery that only rain can provide and feel the beauty of nature, which was a lot of fun. Canoeing while enjoying the forest bath was a great experience. I was able to fully enjoy nature that felt like it was far from Sapporo, and I was very satisfied. The staff were very kind and easy to talk to, which was great. I felt safe while experiencing canoeing. They taught us various things, and I learned that on sunny days, you can see fish, and the autumn foliage is also wonderful, so I would like to participate again.

娘とカヌー体験に参加しました。雨だったのでどうしようかと迷いましたが、思い切って参加して大正解！雨ならではの景色や、自然の美しさを感じる事ができ、とても楽しかったです。カヌーをしながら森林浴。札幌とは思えない自然を満喫でき、大満足でした。スタッフの方もとても親切で話しやすい方で良かったです。安心してカヌーを体験できました。色々な事を教えてくれて、晴れた日は魚がみれることや、紅葉の時期も素晴らしいとの事で、また参加したいと思いました。

I was able to explore at a leisurely pace with a small group guided tour! They answered all my questions thoroughly, and it was so much fun!!!

少人数でのガイドでのんびりと探索することができました！！質問にも全てきちんと答えてくださって、とっても楽しかったです！！！

On the day of the tour, unfortunately, it was cloudy, and there was an incident in the morning where a bear appeared at the five lakes, leading to a temporary closure. However, the guide seemed accustomed to handling such situations and adjusted the routes for the morning and afternoon, allowing us to complete the tour safely. It was enjoyable to walk while listening to the knowledgeable guide talk about the claw marks from the bear trying to climb a tree and the mushrooms at our feet.

参加当日はあいにくの曇り空、午前中五湖に熊が出て一時閉鎖という事態になりましたが、ガイドさんは対処に慣れているようで午前と午後のルートを変更してもらい、無事にツアーを終わらせることができました。
熊が木に登ろうとした爪痕や足元にあるキノコなど、知識の豊富なガイドさんの話を聞きながら歩くことができ、楽しかったです。

We were blessed with great weather and enjoyed a leisurely three-hour walk through the forest. It was late August, still feeling the remnants of summer, but the shaded paths were cool and refreshing. With our guide, Mr. Umebayashi, we were able to see spots that we might have overlooked if we were just walking normally, and we learned about how the forest has formed over decades and centuries. I would love to come back during the fresh green season next time!

天気に恵まれて、森の中をゆったり3時間歩きました。残暑の8月下旬でしたが、木陰が多く涼しい道のり。
ガイドの梅林さんの説明で、普通に歩いていたら見過ごしてしまいそうなところも見れましたし、何十年、何百年かけて森が形成されていくことを学べました。
次は新緑の季節に来たいと思います！

We arrived earlier than our scheduled time, so it was helpful that we could depart early without any loss of time. I was worried about it being crowded during this season, but we had the place to ourselves, and the enjoyable conversation along with the wonderful scenery was truly soothing for the heart! I was moved to discover that there are such lovely places in Japan. Thank you very much.

予約時間より早く到着したので早めに出発して頂き時間のロスもなく助かりました。
この時期だから密にならないか心配してましたが私達だけの貸切で楽しいトークと素晴らしい景色に心癒されました！
日本にもこの様な素敵な場所があったとは感動です。ありがとうございました。

Due to the impact of COVID-19, there were fewer tourists than usual, so the walking paths were less crowded, allowing me to fully enjoy the forest bathing. The guide shared various interesting facts about the animals and plants of Shiretoko, as well as information about the lakes and weather, making even the ordinary paths enjoyable to walk. This time it was summer, but I would love to visit again in another season!

コロナの影響もあり、例年より観光客が少ないとのこと、散策道は人が少なめで存分に森林浴を楽しめました。
ガイドさんは知床の動物や植物、湖やお天気のことなど、様々な豆知識を話ししてくださるので、普通の歩道も楽しく歩けました。
今回は夏でしたが、別の季節ももう一度訪問したいです！

The foreign captain entertained us in various ways, so the round trip to the Blue Cave was enjoyable without getting bored. The driving is acrobatic, so those who are prone to motion sickness should not forget to take motion sickness medication!

外国人船長がいろいろ楽しませてくれたので、青の洞窟までの往復も飽きずに楽しめました。運転がアクロバティックなので酔いやすい人は酔い止めを忘れずに！

The canoeing was very pleasant, blessed with good weather. There's no need to worry at all, even for beginners. All you can hear is the sound of the water and the chirping of birds, with the occasional sound of a train. It's a popular activity on summer Saturdays. They adjusted the departure time for us, allowing us to fully enjoy the Kushiro Wetlands without feeling the hustle and bustle of the busy season. The only disappointment was that we didn't see many animals. It seems that it's quite difficult during the hot summer months. I would like to experience it again in another season.

好天に恵まれて、とても気持ち良かったカヌー。初心者でも全く心配いりません。聞こえてくるのは水の音と鳥のさえずり。時々電車の音が。夏の土曜日で人気のアクティビティ。出発時間を工夫してもらい、繁昌シーズンを全く感じることなく釧路湿原も満喫しました。残念だったのが動物があまり見られなかったこと。夏の暑い時期ななかなか難しいとのことです。また、別の季節に体験したいと思いました。

It was a tour in the rain, but it wasn't too hot, and since it was raining, there were also fewer bugs, which was nice. The tour guide shared fun stories about bears, deer, and plants, and kept everyone entertained with quizzes throughout the tour. In the second half of the Shiretoko Five Lakes tour, the rain stopped, and the mountains reflected beautifully in the second lake, which was wonderful. In the afternoon tour, I was also able to see a mother deer and her fawn up close, which was moving. I definitely want to participate again next time.

雨の中のツアーでしたが、暑すぎず、また雨なのでか虫も少なく良かったです。ツアーガイドの方が熊や鹿、植物につい楽しい話をしていただいたのはもちろん、参加者みんなにクイズをしていただくなど、終始楽しませてきただけました。知床五湖ツアーの後半では雨も止み、二湖にキレイに山が映ってとても良かったです。また午後のツアーでは間近で野生の鹿の親子をみることもでき、感動しました。次回も是非参加したいです。

The guide was rich in local color, kind, and enjoyable. We were able to see many eagles, red-crowned cranes, and Ezo deer. I was impressed by the grandeur of nature.

ガイドさんがローカル色豊かで又、親切で楽しかったです。
鷲、タンチョウ鶴、エゾ鹿もたくさん見れました。
自然の雄大さに感銘しました。

We gathered at 9 o'clock and participated as a family of four (with children in 6th and 4th grades). We started with a thorough explanation and then moved to the Shiribetsu River by bus. (All the staff wore masks, and the bus was ventilated with open windows.) After preparing, we enjoyed rafting for a full hour and a half! The various points of interest were a lot of fun, and the children were thrilled. Above all, the staff were very friendly and wonderful. They also took many photos and videos, and I think this price is a great deal. I hope to participate again in the spring! Thank you, Take-san, Seiya-kun, and TK-san!

9時集合で家族4人(子どもは6年生と4年生)で参加しました。丁寧な説明からスタートし、尻別川へバスで移動。
(スタッフの皆さんはマスク着用、バスは窓を開けて換気してます)
準備をしてラフティングをたっぷり1時間半！
様々なポイントで楽しませてくれ子どもたちも大喜びでした。何よりもスタッフの皆さんがとてもフレンドリーで素晴らしかったです。
そして写真も動画も沢山撮ってくれて、この値段は安いと思います。次回は春に参加出来たら良いかな！タケさん、せいやくん、TKさん、ありがとうございました！

I was very anxious because the information about the meeting place was different between the email and the website. I tried to contact Veltra by phone, but I couldn't get through in the end. The meeting place was as stated in the email, which was Mikasa Ski Resort! I think it would be better to change the information on the website to avoid confusion.

The path to the river was quite steep, but rafting was a lot of fun!! Even though it's mid-August, the water was cold, and I was freezing at first! At the jumping spot, I could jump in as many times as I wanted from my preferred height, which was enjoyable.

　集合場所についての連絡が、メールとホームページで違ったのでとても不安になりました。Veltraに電話で問い合わせてようとしたのですが、結局通じませんでした。集合場所はメールにあった通り、三笠スキー場でした！不安になるのでホームページの方は変更した方が良いとおもいます。
　川に入るまでの道のりは結構けわしかったのですが、ラフティングはとても楽しかったです！！8月中旬ですが、水が冷たくて最初は凍えます！飛び込みスポットでは、自分の好きな高さから何回でも飛び込めるので楽しかったです。

It was amazing to have a natural experience before heading to Sapporo!

札幌に向かう前に、自然体験出来て最高でした！　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

There is a small stream surrounded by trees just a 15-minute drive from New Chitose Airport. True to its name, the water in the Mimikawa is clear, allowing you to see the bottom, where water plants sway and delicate yellow flowers, which I had never seen before, bloom on the surface (I learned that they are called "kōhone"). I had a refreshing experience floating along the gentle flow of the river, surrounded by the trees of the forest, while making friends with a family of swans and fish. The staff were also kind and provided guidance, allowing me to enjoy a wonderful time.

新千歳空港から車で僅か15分のところに、小さな木々に囲まれた小川があります。美々川という名の通り、水は透き通って底が見え、川底で揺れる水草や水面には見たことのない黄色い可憐な花が咲いていました（コウホネという植物だそうです）。白鳥の親子や魚と友達になりながら林の木々に囲まれた緩やかな川の流れに乗り、心洗われる体験をさせていただきました。スタッフの方も親切に指導してくださり、楽しいひと時を送ることができました。

The water quality was excellent, and I was able to enjoy the rich nature that feels like it's far from Sapporo, despite being just an hour away. Above all, the staff were very friendly and enthusiastic about providing service. I could feel their spirit of wanting to entertain the guests.

水質最高で、札幌から1時間とは思えない豊かな自然を満喫できました。なによりスタッフがとても気さくでサービス精神旺盛。ゲストを楽しませようという心意気を感じました。

It was a fluorescent blue that was different from what I expected! I was surprised! It was a mysterious world! Thank you!

思ってた青とは違う、びっくりすらぐらい蛍光色の青！でした！なんで！？って不思議な世界でした！ありがとうございました

We were blessed with great weather and had a wonderful experience connecting with nature in Hokkaido! The instructors were fun to chat with, providing the best entertainment! Thank you very much!

お天気にも恵まれ、北海道の自然に触れられる、魅力的な体験をさせていただきました！インストラクターの方々のお喋りも楽しくて、最高のエンターテインメントでした！ありがとうございました

I was looking for activities that I could do with my dog, and I found this canoe tour. Since my dog is a senior, I was a bit worried, but in the end, we were able to complete the tour without any issues. The meeting place was easy to find, and I arrived without getting lost. There are no restrooms nearby, so I recommend using the restroom before joining the tour.

Before getting on the canoe, we took some photos and received thorough explanations before setting off. We were fortunate with the weather; usually, there are headwinds, but we had a tailwind during our trip, and the guide mentioned we were lucky. It was a very rare experience to see a family of swans and a kingfisher up close.

It was my first time on a canoe, and I had so much fun that I want to do it again! The guides wore masks and made sure that the car was not crowded. I had a great time. Thank you!

ワンコも一緒に出来るアクティビティを探していて、見つけたのが今回のカヌーツアーです。
シニア犬なので少し心配はありましたが、結果的には問題なくツアーを終えることが出来ました。
集合場所はわかりやすくて、迷うことなく到着しました。近くにトイレはありませんので、ツアーに参加前にはトイレに行った方が良いと思います。
カヌーに乗る前に、写真を撮っていただき、丁寧な説明を受けて出発しました。天候に恵まれ、普段なら向かい風が多いようですが、ちょうど私たちのときは追い風で、ガイドさんにラッキーだねと言われました。近くで白鳥の親子や、カワセミを見ることが出来てとても貴重な経験でした。
初めてカヌーに乗りましたが、とても楽しかったのでまた乗りたいです！
ガイドさん達はマスク着用で、車の中も密にならないよう配慮してくださりました。
とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました！

Due to the weather, the schedule and itinerary were changed, but they kindly consulted with me, and I was able to participate for half a day. The guide's stories were enjoyable and filled with love for Shiretoko. Please take me to different seasons and the places I couldn't visit this time.

天候により日程＆行程が変更となったが親身に相談にのってくれて半日だけ参加出来ました。ガイドさんのお話は知床愛溢れる楽しいものでした。別の季節そして今回行けなかった場所へまたご案内下さいネ。

The world was so quiet that aside from the occasional sound of the paddle and the water, it felt as if all sounds were absorbed by the air. Sitting at the very front of the canoe gliding silently through the river, I was able to fully enjoy the nature of Kushiro.

Moreover, during the two-hour river tour, I encountered a white-tailed eagle, Ezo deer, and even a red-crowned crane that came out to the riverbank. The guide, who grew up in Kushiro, is a genius at spotting wildlife! He slowly turned the canoe and pointed out where the animals were. I had always wanted to try canoeing in Kushiro, and it turned out to be an experience beyond my imagination. I highly recommend it for nature lovers.

時折聞こえる櫂の音と水音以外は音が空気に吸い込まれているような静寂の世界。川の流れの中を音もなく進むカヌーの一番前に座って、釧路の自然を満喫できました。
その上、2時間程のリバーツーリング中に、オジロワシやエゾ鹿、
そして川縁に出てきた丹頂にまで出会えたんです。
釧路で育ったガイドさんは、生き物を見つける天才ですね!!
ゆっくりとカヌーの向きを変えて、生き物がどこにいるか教えてくださいました。釧路に行ったら是非、カヌーに乗ってみたいと思っていましたが、
想像以上に素晴らしい体験となりました。自然が好きな方にはお勧めです。

When it comes to canoeing, I had the image of navigating through rapid waters, which made me anxious as someone with a fear of heights... However, it turned out to be a very beginner-friendly course and I had a great time!

It was a last-minute decision to join the canoe tour, but the dress code was casual and there was no need for any special equipment, making it easy to participate.

The course leisurely progressed through the center of Jozankei, and combined with the beautiful weather that day, the scenery was stunning! There were no intense rapids to worry about, and the course was gentle enough that we could enjoy the views while paddling back along the same route.

Canoeing can be quite challenging for beginners, so couples should be careful to avoid arguments (it seems that fights often break out, haha).

During the course, we also had time to get out of the canoe and play in the river, which would be great for kids to enjoy as long as time allows. The instructor was very nice. Thank you!

I wanted to include an activity in my trip, and choosing the canoe tour was definitely the right decision!!! I was able to enjoy both the scenery and exercise at the same time, and it was a wonderful experience. I think the views would be even more spectacular during the autumn foliage season, so I definitely want to aim for that time and participate again! ^ ^

カヌーと言えば、TVでよく見るような急流を進むイメージで、高所恐怖症な私は不安だったのですが……
実際はとっても初心者向けのコースで楽しかったです！

急遽決めたカヌーツアーだったのですが、服装も自由で持ち物も特に必要なく、気軽に参加できました。

定山渓の真ん中をのんびり進むコースで、当日の快晴も相まって、絶景でした！
気掛かりだった激しい流れなどなく、来た道（川）を戻っていくくらいの穏やかなコースで、景色を十分楽しむことができました。

初心者にはカヌーの操縦がなかなか難しいので、カップルや夫婦の方は喧嘩にならないように注意です。（よく喧嘩が勃発するみたいです笑）

コースの途中で、カヌーを降りて川で遊ぶ時間も作っていただいて、子供がいたら（時間の許す限り）満足するまで遊ばせてもらえます。
インストラクターの方がとっても良い方でした。
ありがとうございました！

旅行にアクティビティを入れたいなと思い、カヌーツアーを選択して大正解でした!!!
景色と運動を同時に楽しむことができて、とても良い時間でした。
紅葉の時期はさらに絶景だと思うので、是非その時期を狙って、また参加したいな〜と思います^ ^

Thank you for allowing me to experience my first canoeing adventure. It seems we were the first to enter the Kushiro River during that time slot, with no other canoes ahead of us! It was quiet and overcast, and we encountered many animals. We saw at least 15 deer, as well as a red fox, hummingbirds, and a mink. It was just wonderful. Thank you! It became the best memory.

最高の初カヌーを体験させて頂きありがとうございました
その時間枠で、最初に釧路川へ入れたらしく、前を行くカヌー無し！、静かで、曇りで、どから動物に沢山会えたらしい。鹿さんだけで15頭はお会いし、他にキタキツネ、ハチドリ、ミンク、キタキツネと、もう最高でした。ありがとうございました！最高の思い出になりました。

I participated with my mother in her 70s. I was worried about whether it would be okay without much stamina and if we would tip over, but those concerns were completely unnecessary. They provided us with free raincoats and Crocs, so our clothes didn't get wet.

Since it was a windy day, we mainly enjoyed the calm Chitose River. The shimmering green surface of the water and the transparent riverbed seen from the bottom of the kayak were truly beautiful.

With the guidance of a friendly and kind young man, we got to experience a bit of an exploratory feeling, and it was great to briefly venture out to Lake Shikotsu at the end and enjoy the atmosphere of the lake. My mother was also excitedly paddling away and was really happy, saying she had a lot of fun.

There were only two groups participating, so the water was not crowded, allowing us to take off our masks and breathe in the fresh air. Of course, masks and sanitization were in place inside the store before and after kayaking for infection prevention.

I couldn't use the free bathing ticket for Marukoma Onsen due to timing, so I'll save that for my next visit to Lake Shikotsu. I would love to try kayaking and diving again at Lake Shikotsu when there's no wind.

70代の母と参加しました。
体力なくても大丈夫か、ひっくり返ったりしないか、など心配していたことは全く無用でした。カッパ上下とクロックスを無料で貸し出して頂き、私服が濡れることもありませんでした。
風がある日だったので穏やかな千歳川をメインに楽しみました。グリーンに光る水面や、カヤックの船底から見る透き通った川底は本当に美しかったです。
気さくで優しいお兄さんの案内でちょっぴり探検気分を味わえたり、最後に少しだけ支笏湖にも出て湖の雰囲気も体験出来て良かったです。
母も張り切ってグイグイ漕いで、本当に楽しかったと喜んでいました。
参加時は2組だけで、水上は密ではないためマスクを外して美味しい空気をたくさん吸えました。カヤック前後の店内ではもちろんマスク、消毒で感染対策してありました。
丸駒温泉の無料入浴券が、時間が合わず使えなかったので次に支笏湖に来た時のお楽しみにします。風のない時の支笏湖でまたカヤックやダイビングをしてみたいです。

It was my first experience kayaking, but I received a thorough briefing beforehand, and even after we got out to sea, the guide was very considerate, allowing me to enjoy it with peace of mind. I was surprised to see so many sea urchins and starfish clearly through the clear kayak. Unfortunately, we couldn't enter the Blue Cave, but the guide took photos for us and chatted casually, making it a very satisfying experience. After the canoeing, I was also recommended a place for sea urchin rice bowl, and I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious sea urchin from Shakotan.

カヤック初体験でしたが事前にレクチャーいただき海に出てからもガイドさんはとても気を遣っていただき安心して楽しめました。クリアカヤックからは海底がはっきりと見えるためウニやヒトデがとても多いことに驚きました。あいにく青の洞窟には入れませんでしたがガイドさんに写真を撮っていただいたり気さくにお話をしてくださり、大変満足いく内容でした。カヌー体験後、おすすめのウニ丼の店なども紹介いただき積丹の美味しいウニを堪能しました。
