Ozu City offers an instructor-led canoe and SUP experience.
The Hiji River has a gentle current, making it safe even for those with no experience.
Instructors will guide you carefully, so you will be able to maneuver a canoe in a short time.
Single and double occupancy canoeing is also available.
SUP stands for "Stand Up Paddleboard," an activity in which you stand on a boat and paddle forward.
Please take this opportunity to try it out.
Adults (junior high school and above): ¥3,000
Children (4th to 6th grade): ¥2,000
*Children (3rd grade and younger): Free (must be accompanied by an adult)
