    What To Expect


    1. [08:30]　Gather and receive safety instructions Join Kubota Masashi, who has over 20 years of guiding experience in this area, for a thoroughly enjoyable day-long course. Touring with the planner himself, you'll fully experience many charming spots and various activities. Enjoy a unique, customized course that caters to the day's weather and the preferences of the participants. Examples of Captivating Spots: ・Ono Seto: Known for its rows of oyster rafts. ・Mr. Kubota's Recommended Nature Spots: Discover hidden gems guided by Mr. Kubota's expertise. ・Miyajima Shopping Street: Stroll through the vibrant shopping district on Miyajima Island with Kubota. Examples of Diverse Activities: ・Snorkeling & Nature Observation: Explore marine life and natural surroundings at stops along the shore. ・Relaxing Nap in Nature: Set up a tarp and enjoy a peaceful nap surrounded by nature. *Note: Proximity to the shrine gate may vary depending on the tide conditions on the day of the tour. 30 minutes
    2. Itsukushima Shrine Torii [09:00]　Kayak (Itsukushima-jinja Shrine gate, Houraiiwa, etc.) [11:45]　Lunch Break Have you ever wanted to gaze up at the magnificent red shrine gate from the water? Known as the "Island of the Gods," Miyajima itself is considered sacred. The Itsukushima-jinja Shrine was built over the sea to avoid harming the sacred island. In the era of Taira no Kiyomori (ca. 1160s - 1185), worshippers would pass through the sea gate to pray, and sea pilgrimages have been cherished by fishermen and merchants traveling the Seto Inland Sea ever since. One of the highlights of this tour is the unique view of the Itsukushima-jinja Shrine from the sea. Standing tall at approximately 16 meters, the gigantic shrine gate awaits. The low vantage point of a kayak, combined with the absence of engine noise and the presence of only the sound of the waves, enhances the sense of mystique. This is an experience you cannot get from the crowded land. 4 hours
    3. Tsutsumigaura Nature Park Camping Site As you paddle further along the eastern coastline, the natural grandeur of Miyajima unfolds. Encounter stunning and mystical landscapes such as the Horai-iwa rock, frequently depicted in old postcards of Miyajima, the sprawling white sands of Tsutsumigaura, and the serene Tsutsumigaura-jinja Shrine nestled among massive rocks. Kayaking eastwards will reveal why Miyajima is called "the island where gods dwell." *Note: Specific spots visited may vary based on participants' stamina and preferences on the day of the tour. 2 hours 30 minutes
    4. [15:30]　Return to Paddle Park [16:00]　Change clothes・Disband 30 minutes
