Enjoy a relaxing SUP cruise while enjoying the majestic scenery of Lake Shikotsu. Cruise amid the majestic scenery unique to caldera lakes, including Mt. Eniwa, Mt. Tarumae, and Mt. Fuppushi.
Due to the excellent transparency of the water, you can see a sheer cliff-like scene called “columnar jointing” below the water surface during the cruise. This is one of the highlights of SUP cruising on Lake Shikotsu. It is a crack that formed when the magma rapidly cooled and contracted when the caldera was formed.
The contrast of blue and green created by nature creates a beautiful landscape.

My first SUP was awesome!
We participated as a family of five, including children aged 12 to 18. We needed to change the date after making the reservation, but the staff was very accommodating. The conditions were great on the day, and the instructor was friendly and taught us carefully, so even though it was our first time on SUP, we had a lot of fun. The kids were already excited and said, "We want to go again!" We received lots of photos after the event. Thank you! (This review has been machine translated) -
Nature! Wild Creatures! Transparency!
It was my first time SUPing! I booked the afternoon session and participated with my husband. However, the day before, we found out that the weather wouldn't be very good that afternoon. We received a polite phone call to inform us. Considering the distance from the hotel where we were staying and my dislike of getting up early in the morning, it would be difficult to change to the morning session. . We thought we might have to cancel, but as soon as the morning session finished, we were contacted to say that they would move it up! We are so grateful! As a result, we were able to enjoy ourselves without getting caught in the rain. The beautiful, crystal clear river and we stopped on the shore along the way to observe shrimp, making for a worthwhile experience. I had been lacking exercise due to the effects of COVID-19, but it was a great workout. I would definitely like to participate again! (This review has been machine translated)

It was so much fun!
I participated with my brother and my dog. It was my first time SUPing, but thanks to the advice on how to enjoy it with a dog and how to ride, I was able to stand up and paddle with my dog on board in the second half, which was a lot of fun. I'm considering buying a SUP board, and I was able to get some helpful advice on which ones would be good to have with a dog. SUPing while looking at the beautiful lake was the best! Thank you very much! (This review has been machine translated) -

Amazing transparency!
I went with a friend! This was my second time doing SUP, but my previous experience was river SUP, so it was a different experience. I had no idea Lake Shikotsu was such a clear and beautiful lake. Standing on the lake and being able to see different aspects of the lake at each point is something that only SUP can do! We were blessed with good weather and the guide's guidance was fun, so I'm very satisfied. (This review has been machine translated) -
It was great
I participated with four friends. We were blessed with good weather, perfect for SUP! It was my first time, but we had a lecture at the beginning, so we headed to the lake with confidence. The lake was crystal clear under a cloudless blue sky, and we were impressed. From start to finish, we kept saying "So beautiful! So comfortable!" There were times along the way when we were seriously chasing fish and shrimp with our hands, and on the way back, the guide tied all of our boats together and rowed them for us! At that time, we were lying on the boat and enjoying the nature lol I'm glad we had such a satisfying experience! I'd like to do it again! (This review has been machine translated) -
An extraordinary experience that will cleanse your soul
I participated with a colleague from work. We were blessed with good weather on the day, so we were able to enjoy the blue of Lake Shikotsu, which boasts the best water quality in Japan, with the clear blue sky and beautiful mountain ranges in the background! The water temperature was still a little cold, so at first I was concentrating on not falling into the water, and I was a little scared when I stood up for the first time... but once I stood up, I was able to see the beautiful scenery from a perspective I had never seen before, so I became completely silent and enjoyed the view. Next time I'd like to participate on a hot summer day and have fun diving into the water! The guide also took lots of beautiful photos, so I have great memories to keep with me. Thank you!

Once you stand up it's not scary!
The clear blue sky and the calm surface of the lake... it was the perfect environment for my first attempt at SUP! For the first 30 minutes I was so nervous and unsteady that I was worried I wouldn't be able to stand up, but they taught me properly from the basics, and although at first I could only stand like a newborn fawn, once I got the hang of it I was able to see the scenery around me. Depending on my own strength and energy, I was able to sit or lie down when I got tired, and I could get a closer look at the dazzling green trees and crystal clear water. I think I'm getting addicted to SUP! Thank you to our guide, Kishi-san! (This review has been machine translated)
