Lake Mizugaki (Kayaking Experience)

Experience kayaking on Lake Mizugaki, a famous autumn foliage spot within the Kobushi UNESCO Ecopark, which is one of the Biosphere Reserves recognized by UNESCO. Surrounded by broadleaf trees, Lake Mizugaki boasts beautiful autumn colors. The tour guides provide careful instruction, from how to hold the kayak paddle, to safe riding and stable paddling techniques, ensuring enjoyment for everyone from beginners to experienced riders. The appeal lies in unique scenic spots easily accessible by kayak, such as observing the colorful trees from the water's surface, and seeing the Rokumeikyo Bridge spanning over the lake from directly below. Kayaks can also be paddled up the inflowing Kamase River for a landing, to view the scenery of a mountain stream. Operated by Yatsugatake Outdoor Activities, which also offers universal kayaking, the tour includes activities accessible to many people even with disabilities.
