What to expect
Paddle the serene headwaters of the Kushiro River in Teshikaga, Hokkaido. This 90-minute tour features a gentle 3 km (1.8-mile) downstream drift to Midori Bridge, including 60 minutes of actual water time. Perfect for families and beginners (ages 6+), it requires no prior canoeing experience.
The untouched subarctic ecosystem shifts beautifully by season. Enjoy lush greenery and wetland birdwatching from spring to autumn. In winter, experience a frozen fairy-tale corridor of rime frost, river mist (kesarashi), and floating diamond dust.
