Product Info
- Relaxing Canadian canoe experience on the Arekinai River, a tributary of the Kushiro River, in a winter wonderland. We will guide you on a relaxing 3 km round-trip Canadian canoe tour along the Arekinai River, a tributary that flows from Lake Toro, located on the east side of the Kushiro Wetland, to the Kushiro River. A guide will be on board each canoe to assist you, so even beginners can join with peace of mind. If you are arriving by car, please book the 08:00, 09:00, 10:00, 13:00, or 14:00 tour. * The 09:30 tour is only available for those arriving by JR (arriving at Toro Station at 09:19 from Abashiri or 09:23 from Kushiro). * The 12:00 tour is only available for those arriving by the SL Winter Wetland Train. * The 13:15 tour is only available for those arriving by JR (arriving at Toro Station at 13:01 from Kushiro).
- Fantastic Ice Art Before Your Eyes
- On mornings when the air is calm and the temperature drops from night to early morning, you can see 'kearashi' (steam fog) on the water surface, which freezes the surrounding trees into white rime ice. In addition, natural art such as frost flowers and splash ice appears along the winter riverside, making it a true ice museum!
- Feel the Breath of Wildlife in the Wetlands
- The Kushiro Wetland, the largest in Japan, is a treasure trove of wildlife. Canadian canoeing is the best way to quietly enter the domain of wild animals living in their natural habitat. If you are lucky, you might encounter Ezo deer, white-tailed eagles, or Steller's sea eagles!
