Yarigatake (3,180m above sea level) in the Northern Alps, and Lake Rokaku (Kumeji Gorge) in Shinshu-Shinmachi. Starting from the upper reaches of the river, you'll cruise along the flowing water. ● Anyone with SUP experience can do it! ● Learn the basics of downriver! ● Enjoy a bit of thrill and speed! ● See the scenery change as you ride the current! ● Get a free photo and video taken by your guide! This is a beginner's downriver course that anyone with SUP experience can participate in. While it's not a rapid, you'll feel the thrill and speed of riding a solid current. You'll wear a helmet and downriver-specific equipment, and you'll also learn the basics of risk management for the current. If you're interested in downriver SUP but haven't had the chance to try it, please sign up! #After the tour, we ask for your cooperation in transporting the guide in your car so that we can retrieve the guide's car parked at the starting point.
