What you will do
This is a guided half-day tour to enjoy the Abashiri River in eastern Hokkaido and the riverside nature on a kayak. You have the chance to see our local wildlife in Hokkaido. you can also stop for good photo shots and have a chat with your guide and fellow kayakers. After enjoying kayaking, let's bake and eat homemade pizza in a pizza oven.

You can ride a kayak and see a great view of the national park. The sit-on kayaks are easy to use and stable, good for beginners and even children. Paddle leisurely in the quiet lake and you will meet unique wild birds such as Kingfishers, Ducks, and White-tailed Eagles. Get out of your kayak and land on the Peninsula. Explore the bush and find indigenous birds with lots of photogenic sceneries.
