The weather was pleasant!
I couldn't make a reservation for the time I wanted through the reservation form, so I contacted them and they politely helped me out and made a reservation! The tour was tailored to the participants, and the person who joined me this time was also very skilled, so I was very happy to be able to experience far away! It was beautiful and I have another memory! (This review has been machine translated) -

The happiest time
I participated with a friend. Even though we are locals, we had no idea that such a wonderful experience existed. It was a luxurious time, surrounded by silence, the chirping of birds and the sound of water. It was my first time, but the guide was kind and taught us carefully, so we enjoyed it 200%. It made me think that I want the local people to know how wonderful Lake Kuttara is. Thank you very much! (This review has been machine translated) -

Mysterious Lake Kuttara Kayaking Experience
Compared to Lake Shikotsu, there were hardly any other tourists, so I was able to refresh myself in the silence. The tour guide was also very kind. (This review has been machine translated) -
The color of the water up close is beautiful!
We participated as a family. The kayaking wasn't that difficult as we were taught how to paddle at the beginning. The surface of the lake was calm so it was a safe experience. The water was just so beautiful! The color of the water seen up close while paddling out on the lake was much more beautiful than it was from the shore. The mysterious color of the water, the clear air, and the calmly flowing time. It was the best experience. (This review has been machine translated) -
Lake Kuttara Kayaking Experience
1 person. Very quiet. A relaxing space. The clarity of the lake is amazing. The guide was also very kind and helpful, and answered all my questions accurately. After I returned, I was really grateful that he patiently answered my almost annoying email questions. I will be telling others about what a great experience I had.

Quiet and beautiful place
I participated with a friend. It was my first time kayaking, but I was able to paddle without any problems after receiving a lecture from the guide. It was a quiet and beautiful otherworldly space. I saw a kingfisher. I forgot to put sunscreen between my pants and shoes, so I got quite sunburned. Even on a cloudy day, you should not let your guard down. I'm from the local area, so I will definitely come back. (This review has been machine translated) -
It was awesome!
We went as a couple. The water was so clear, there was nothing man-made and it was just natural. We wanted to spend more time relaxing on the lake. Our guide was very kind and gave us a very interesting explanation, so we were very satisfied! (This review has been machine translated) -
Quiet Lake
I went with some good friends from work. Although there were other customers on the day, the guide kept the whole trip in check, talking about things that were appropriate for each person, whether they were seeing the lake for the first time or for the first time, but he also conveyed the charm of the lake that he wanted to convey and the thoughts he wants to cherish, and his spirit and consideration were very nice. It was very tranquil, with beautiful blues and greens. I live nearby, so I'll also go during the autumn leaves season! (This review has been machine translated) -
An extraordinary landscape
We participated as a family of three. We go canoeing every year, but this was our first time kayaking. The guide was very kind and reliable, full of hospitality. Unlike other rivers and lakes, there were no other tours, so it felt like an extraordinary experience! (This review has been machine translated) -
Kayaking on Lake Kuttara
Just getting to the shore of Lake Kuttara is an adventure. I was a complete beginner when it came to the outdoors, but with the guide's careful and proper instruction, I was able to get in a kayak for the first time and was overwhelmed with emotion. I was only nervous for the first 10 seconds or so! Lake Kuttara feels like a hidden gem, and the views from the shore are amazing, but I really recommend getting in a kayak and getting out on the water. (This review has been machine translated) -

It was a hidden place
While staying at nearby Kojohama, I searched for activities and found this place. I made a reservation on the day, and I was grateful for the consideration. The chirps of the wild birds on the lake were refreshing, and once they stopped, I was enveloped in silence and was able to experience the untouched nature with all my senses. Since I was alone, a guide accompanied me. I was able to hear a lot about Lake Kuttara and had a great time. Next time, I would like to experience an early morning or night cruise.

The beauty of Lake Kuttara
I went with a friend. I live nearby so I knew Lake Kuttara was a beautiful lake. But! I was able to experience what I thought I knew by taking part in this tour. The beauty of Lake Kuttara seen from the surface of the lake is beyond words. The exhilarating feeling of catching the water and feeling the breeze and floating. Our guide explained to us the beautiful colors of the lake as they changed in various ways. We had a wonderful time. I'm not used to water activities, but the explanations were fun and easy to understand, so I was able to experience it with confidence. Thank you! (This review has been machine translated) -
It was a good experience.
I went with a friend. It was a very quiet, crystal clear lake, and our guide explained the characteristics of the plants and the habits of the animals from a unique perspective. It was a well-balanced experience, with both discovery and learning. There were small children in the group, and I'm sure they enjoyed themselves. (This review has been machine translated) -
The best!
・I participated with my boyfriend. ・The transparency of Lake Kutara is amazing. In certain places, you can see the vivid blue color, which was really beautiful. The trainer was kind and nice! (This review has been machine translated) -
It's like a private lake. It's so nice.
I joined this trip because I love canoeing and kayaking. Although it's close to Noboribetsu Onsen, we drove on roads where there are fewer and fewer people around. Lake Kuttara isn't a very famous lake, but the water is clear and clean, and best of all, there are no other people there! You have the lake practically to yourself. The sound of the water, the voices of the birds, the sense of freedom to paddle as you like... it was a very special canoe ride that you can only experience here. I'd like to return, maybe at a different time. Thank you! (This review has been machine translated) -
This may be Hokkaido's No. 1 lake?
This was my first time there, but it's a really nice lake. It's surrounded by virgin forest, and the road only faces the lake in one place, so it's completely silent when you start paddling. You'll probably be able to hear each other's voices even if you're about 100 meters away (lol). It feels like a private lake. I was surprised to find such a nice lake so close to Noboribetsu Onsen! I heard there are night tours too, so I'd like to go next time. (This review has been machine translated)
