Your first SUP experience is safe on Lake Shikotsu!
The lake had few waves, and the guide was very thorough, so I felt at ease. I never fell off the board. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Shikotsu and Mt. Tarumae to your heart's content from a SUP. (This review has been machine translated) -

Thank you for a fun summer
Last year I tried it alone for the first time, and this year I went with a few friends and my dog. I got so into it that I bought my own SUP, but when I went with Ezo Nature, I got to ride different types of boards, walk through the moss corridor, and even try out a tent sauna at the end of the season. It's really fun to join a tour because you can try things you can't do alone. The staff are all kind and fun. I'm in my 50s, and thanks to everyone at Ezo Nature, I'm glad I was able to find a new hobby, SUP. I was nervous and hesitant, but I'm glad I started SUP here ☺︎ Next year, I'd like to try the sea and rivers. (This review has been machine translated) -

EZO Nature Act is the best!
Thank you to everyone at EZO Nature Act! We participated as a family on 9/29. There were other participants, but the guides were kind enough to guide us according to each person's skill level. Once our family got used to paddling, they taught us tricks and SUP yoga, and our middle school and elementary school children had a blast. We were soothed by the smiles of our family and the nature of Lake Shikotsu! We hope to see you again next time! (This review has been machine translated) -
I'm glad I went!
The other day, I went with a friend. I wanted to try SAP, but didn't know it was available, so when I found out, I signed up right away. It was my first time trying SAP, and the water was very clean and the air was calm, so it was a fun and good time. I lost my balance while standing and fell into the water. The next day, my thigh muscles were sore lol. My friend fell into the water many times and kept trying, but she enjoyed it! Besides us, there was a woman with a large dog who was also riding SAP with her dog. The instructor, Shiba-chan's guide, was also very fun, so I would like to participate again! Thank you very much.

This is my second time using this company
This was the second time I used this company, and I went with the same friends as the first time. I didn't have many, but I've participated in a few SUP tours this summer, and all of the companies were very good, but I enjoyed it the most, so I chose this company. The instructor was also very considerate so that we could enjoy it, and although I think there was probably a tour course, he fulfilled what we wanted to do, and we were excited even in the car on the way back. Also, the weather was unstable on the day we participated, and there were waves at the end, which made it difficult to paddle. At that time, they pulled us for safety, so we were able to finish the experience with peace of mind. Of course, I would like to use them again if I have the opportunity, and it's really fun every time, so I wanted my own board. Also, they took a lot of photos both last time and this time, so it was fun to look at them later. Out of the several companies I've used, I was most satisfied with the number of photos and image quality. (This review has been machine translated) -
My first sup experience ^ ^
My husband and I participated in our first SUP experience. They taught us how to ride carefully and gently, and even though it was our first time, we were impressed that we could ride standing up. There was no wind and it was a perfect day for beginners, so we had a lot of fun. We laughed so hard at the commemorative photo! It was a great memory from our first family trip in a while. We'd definitely like to go again. Thank you ^ ^ (This review has been machine translated) -
If you want to enjoy the summer in Hokkaido!
I've participated in tours a few times, but this time I went alone! The guides were all very friendly, and thanks to them I was able to chat with the other tour participants in a lively and fun atmosphere❀.(*´◡`*)❀. Also, they taught me very carefully, so it's recommended for first-time SUP riders! When the weather is good, Lake Shikotsu is very beautiful, and I'm sure it will be a wonderful summer memory (o^^o) (This review has been machine translated) -
My first SUP
It was my family's first time trying SUP. Thanks to the instructor's careful guidance, we had a great time. SUPing at Lake Shikotsu was so comfortable that I got so hooked I wanted my own board! I'd love to go again! (This review has been machine translated) -

It was fun!
Family, work colleagues First, we received a lecture before diving into the lake. I'm in my 50s, and I'm not confident in my physical strength, and I'm afraid of water, so I was really scared, but it was a worthwhile experience to see the happy faces of the instructor and my family. I was soothed by the beauty of Lake Shikotsu. I applied for the discount, so the price was a great deal. I'd like to participate again and stand tall next time.

It was a memorable day.
I participated with my boyfriend. There was some concern about the weather and water quality due to the heavy rain the day before, but I was surprised by the beautiful water quality and scenery of Lake Shikotsu. It was my first time on a SUP, but I was able to ride easily. The staff were all very kind to me, and I was able to spend a time filled with smiles. (This review has been machine translated) -
First time RiverSup
My SUP buddies who always go to Lake Shikotsu SUPing in a river with a current River rafting on a SUP It was my first time on the river, but the staff explained it to me in an easy-to-understand way so I was able to enjoy myself without any worries. (This review has been machine translated) -
The instructor was great!
It was the first time for my family of five to participate. I was a little nervous because I had an elementary school-aged child, but the instructor was great at teaching us and easing our tension, so we were able to enjoy it as a family with peace of mind. The staff worked well together, and a staff member other than the instructor took a photo of everyone on the SUP, which I was very happy about. It became a wonderful memory!

It's a wonderful summer memory.

You'll have a blast☺︎
I'm a repeat customer with 4 friends. Last year I participated alone and with friends, but I have many friends who are beginners who want to start SUP, and the instructors here are very kind, so we can participate together with peace of mind. Both my friends and I have become completely addicted to the charm of SUP at Ezo Nature ☺︎ Even though I live in Hokkaido, I'm also impressed by the beauty of Lake Shikotsu and the scenery, which are hard to see.

it was fun!
I participated with my colleagues. The guide was always fun, and my colleague who tried SUP for the first time said that he wanted to try it again right away. One of them enjoyed intense SUP, and the other enjoyed leisurely SUP and wanted to ride SUP and eat rice balls (laughs). (This review has been machine translated) -

Thank you very much. (This review has been machine translated) -
The sup experience was amazing!
I participated with my son, a fourth-grader, and his friend. I was able to feel the great outdoors of Lake Shikotsu up close, and everything was great (^^) The staff's words and smiles were wonderful! I could also tell they were paying attention to safety, so even though I was an older woman with my child, I was able to enjoy myself without worry. The two hours flew by. I definitely want to do this again. (This review has been machine translated) -

EzoNature is the best
I went with three friends. I had been there a few times last year, and this year I went with three friends who were trying SUP for the first time. They were very accommodating to our requests and the weather and wave conditions, and we had a great time. The guide here is the best! I'd definitely like to use their services again.

Lake Shikotsu SUP
I participated with my colleagues. We did various poses on the paddle and had free time. It was cloudy, but it was a very luxurious time on the beautiful lake. It was fun. Thank you very much. (This review has been machine translated) -
SUP on Lake Shikotsu
I participated with three of my bosses from work. This was my third time SUPing at ezo nature, and even though it had been a while, the instructor remembered every detail from the previous SUP session, which made me realize just how kind he is! He was flexible in responding to the changing weather and making the SUP session fun by doing the best he could at the time, so the three hours just flew by. This time we SUPed at Lake Shikotsu, but I'd like to participate in SUPing in Shakotan again this season. (This review has been machine translated) -
Get a free SUP experience
I used the Hokkaido resident discount to give my parents a great gift, as they said they wanted to try the outdoor sport of SUP. I thought that a kind and polite guide was the best way to make the experience fun. I asked Ezo Nature Act, who always takes care of me! Even when my anxious mother fell off the SUP board, they helped me with accurate advice, and in the end, I was able to stand on the board and paddle! Both my parents were very happy to be watched over by the warm and energetic guide, so I'm really glad that I had the SUP experience with Ezo Nature Act. Thank you so much for guiding us through a wonderful SUP experience at Lake Shikotsu! I'd like to ask you to help me again, and invite my friends and sister. (This review has been machine translated)
