Kayaks and clothing.
*The kayak to be used is called a "sit-on-top type" kayak.
*The wide width provides excellent stability. Even first-timers can enjoy it with ease. However, please be prepared to get your clothes wet as it is easy to get wet.
*Unlike the type that goes inside, the entire body is exposed, so please be sure to wear sun protection. (Clothing that dries easily when wet, such as leggings, shorts, and a rash guard, is recommended.)
*When the water is cold, we prepare overalls-type rainwear and wetsuits here to prevent the lower body from getting wet.
*Since the river is often surprisingly cool, it is comfortable to have one piece of woven clothing like a windbreaker that can protect you from the wind and cold in spring and fall.
In the event of inclement weather, the event may or may not be held.
*If there is a slight chance of rain that does not pose a safety issue, the event will be held. If heavy rain or rising water is expected, the event will be cancelled. Since river and ocean conditions vary from day to day, we will make a decision the day before or the day of the event based on the forecast and actual ocean conditions.
*In the event that the event is cancelled due to inclement weather, a full refund will be given. No cancellation fee will be charged in the event of cancellation due to natural conditions such as typhoons or other natural disasters, such as flight or ship cancellations not caused by guests.
About the locker room.

Next, we enjoyed a delicious lunch, and in the afternoon, we tried our hand at a trial dive at the beach. Finally, we had a wonderful time swimming among the colorful fish in the ocean, allowing us to fully experience both the mountains and the sea in a single day. We also received some fantastic photos taken with a 360-degree camera, making it a truly fulfilling tour.
