• This is a one-day canoe tour on a small stream known as the "Miraculous Pure Stream." The water is truly clean and transparent for a canoeing river. The gentle flow and the moderate alternation of pools and rapids make it stress-free. The narrow river makes it easy to land on the nearby riverbank if you capsize or get tired, so even beginners can enjoy canoeing. The secret to this "miraculous pure stream" lies in the river's formation. Looking around the surrounding mountains, it seems to be 60% evergreen, 20% broadleaf, and 20% cedar. During the time when cedar trees were planted throughout Japan, they probably couldn't be planted due to a lack of soil. This is why the mountains remain healthy. Looking closely, you'll see many small streams flowing into the river, but the water is usually not visible on the surface. They probably spring up underground. Therefore, this river is a collection of spring water! You can also see plenty of fish from the canoe. When combined with the main stream, Kitagawa, it is said to have the largest number of fish species in Japan! 246 species? I think. This shows how rich the river is. The traditional sweetfish fishing season, Shibazeki fishing, begins in September, so we don't go canoeing because it would be a nuisance to the fishermen. It is only available from April to August.
• A canoe tour on the river at 1km per hour!
• At Shizenya Kawajin, we aim to offer a river canoe tour at a speed of 1km per hour. In the morning, we practice canoeing at a large, crystal-clear pool, learning paddling, balancing, what to do if you capsize, swimming with a life jacket, peering at the river bottom with underwater goggles, and being carried along by the rapids. After lunch on the riverbank, we'll enjoy a leisurely canoe ride, observing nature, observing the river underwater, and jumping off a submerged bridge.
• It makes you want to swim! It makes you want to jump in! It makes you want to be swept away!
• The clear water will make you want to swim! The stream is so refreshing! Take it easy and try not to paddle too much, and if you get tired, come ashore and play in the river! Underwater observation is also fun, so be sure to bring along some goggles.
• A little outdoor experience!
• We will set up a special day camp on the riverbank along the way and make lunch together on the spot. The menu will be the classic hot sandwich! We will light a small gas burner, put various ingredients and cheese between slices of bread, and bake them in a hot sandwich maker. We will also make coffee using a kettle-like tool called a percolator. Let's enjoy a mini mini camp together!
