Schedule
Meet at The Nature Planet office
As you paddle through the vast lake in your kayak, you'll experience nature from a lower vantage point, allowing you to feel more directly connected to the environment. Enjoy the stunning seasonal landscapes.
Types of Kayaks
A double-paddle (paddling on both sides) canoe, this is the most popular type. It is ideal for those who want the freedom to paddle wherever they like. Suitable for upper elementary school students or those over 120 cm in height. Small dogs can also join their owners in these kayaks.
Ideal for families with young children and pairs looking to ride together, the front paddler coordinates with the rear paddler for smooth movement. Balancing left and right paddling is crucial for maintaining a straight course.
The wide hull offers stability but is more prone to wind. With a single paddle for directional changes, it's a rare experience in the prefecture, making it ideal for experienced kayakers.
