The upper reaches of the Tokachi River are always rich in water due to the dam's power generation and water discharge, so you can enjoy fun rafting any time during the season!
Canoes are very stable and easy to operate! Don't worry, even beginners and small children can enjoy them.
The plan that includes a BBQ lunch after the tour is also popular. The staff will take care of everything from starting the fire to cleaning up. You can also bring your own ingredients.
The clubhouse is fully equipped with separate changing rooms for men and women and toilets (with washlets). Everything is comfortable, from clean and dry rental gear to tea time after the tour and a bath in Kutsutsu Onsen!

The upper reaches of the Tokachi River are always full of water due to the dam’s power generation and water discharge, so you can enjoy fun rafting any time during the season!
The maximum number of people on the boat is 8, including the guide. Each guide and customer has a paddle, and everyone works together to enjoy the ride.
After rafting, it’s time to canoe!
This is a two-person touring canoe, also known as a “fun kayak.” The guide will lead and assist in another canoe.
In spring, the mountains are covered in fresh green, in summer the sky is clear blue, and in autumn the lake is dyed red from the reflections of the autumn foliage. Enjoy the seasonal scenery of Lake Kuttari at your leisure.

On July 26th, my family of three went to TAC! ! Before we went, I had an image of it being a dirty outdoor company... I only imagined it to be a beach house! ? ^^; But when I saw TAC, I was surprised > <! ! ! It was a nice log house @ @; I ended up asking my dad if this wasn't the right place... lol When the tour started, I was so nervous that my face was all twitching... but the guide's talk was so fun > w < that I forgot about my nervousness! ! My dad and the kids were having a great time with the rafting, but I also really liked the fun kayaking! ! We spent a relaxing time on the lake and it was a really happy space ^-^ Above all, it's recommended that you can enjoy two things! Oh! Oh, and by the way... you can get sandals for free this year? ? It's a really cute orange one ^-^ (I've forgotten what the period was... > <) (This review has been machine translated)
