Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

  • This is our sunrise plan for [5:00-7:00]. Witness the dawn on the lake. At 5:00, the air is still blue and the water is calm. Lake Chuzenji is surrounded by mountains, including Mount Nantai. The only sound you can hear is the splash of kayaks. It is the quietest time of the day. Soon the mountain ridges will be bathed in the morning sun, and the sky will change color moment by moment—we will witness that moment from the lake. It is a sunrise that can never be seen from land, a sunrise that can only be seen on the water. This is a pre-dawn tour that we have been offering since our founding. We use very stable kayaks and provide thorough instruction even for first-timers, so please come with confidence. *The meeting time will vary depending on the season to match the sunrise time. The confirmed meeting time will be sent to you by email after your reservation.
  • A lake without wind, silence only the sound of birds.
  • At dawn, the wind often dies down, and the lake surface becomes as still as a mirror, creating a state of calm. Kayaks glide smoothly across the water, the only sounds being the paddle and the chirping of birds just beginning to awaken. You'll be enveloped in a tranquility unique to the mornings of Oku-Nikko, a stark contrast to the daytime hustle and bustle. Enjoy this special time, where you can even hear your own breathing.
  • Paddling at an altitude of 1,269m, a summer resort in the sky.
  • Lake Chuzenji is one of the highest-altitude lakes in Japan for its size. At an elevation of 1,269 meters, it's a historic summer resort that has been loved by foreigners since the Meiji era. Even in summer, the average high temperature is only 22-23°C, and the breeze across the lake is refreshingly cool. It's a kayaking experience on a lake so close to the sky that you can forget the heat of the lowlands.
  • All photos are included as a gift, and the price is reassuring as it includes insurance.
  • The displayed price includes all essential equipment such as kayaks, paddles, and life jackets, as well as your domestic travel insurance and all photos taken by the guide on the day. You can participate with peace of mind at the displayed price. (Additional charges apply only if you require rental equipment such as warm clothing.)
