  • It was fun❗️

    I participated with a friend and his family, a total of five people. It was raining, but we were able to wear dry suits in the tent. If I could be greedy, it would have been even better if we could have changed in a waterproof tent or a Hiace. Since we were wearing dry suits, it wasn't cold. The course had great views, and we had a lot of fun diving into the hot spring waterfall. They took photos and videos for us and gave them to us for free, thank you. You can also take them yourself. The best part was that we could participate for just 1,000 yen with the Doumin discount. If I could be greedy, it would have been even better if we could have spent a little longer. I'd like to do this again, thank you. (This review has been machine translated)
  • it was fun!!

    We participated as a family of four, including our kindergarten and second-grade children. I thought SUP might be difficult, but it's easy to maneuver and was a lot of fun even for the first time! The children weren't scared and were very happy to be able to paddle along with us. The scenery was beautiful, the marshmallows we had around the bonfire during our break were delicious, and we felt soothed by the nature. It was also a lot of fun flying the drone, and it became a good memory of the trip. (This review has been machine translated)
  • it was fun~.

    I enjoyed my first SUP with my family. I live in Sapporo and considered SUPing in Niseko, but my schedule didn't work out, so I found out that it was being done in Jozankei, so I gave it a try. I was glad that I could experience it so easily in the wonderful location of Jozankei. The experience of passing through a hot spring waterfall on a SUP is also unique to Jozankei Onsen. The photos and drone video I received were also good memories for my family. I would like to try it again. (This review has been machine translated)

  • A relaxing moment in a spectacular location

    I participated with my coworkers! It was my first time doing SUP, so I felt like a newborn baby fawn when I stood up, but they taught me carefully and I was able to stand up easily by the end! I was also able to dive, so I grew a lot! And above all, it was a relaxing SUP surrounded by nature. It was soothing to the soul. The video they took with the drone is also a great memory! Thank you for this time. I will definitely participate again with a different plan! (This review has been machine translated)
  • It was fun!

    My 6-year-old son (in kindergarten) and I participated. I was worried about whether he would be able to ride well, but the staff were very kind and taught my son, and he was able to ride while standing. In the second half, we got in sync and started going straight, which was fun! (This review has been machine translated)
  • So much fun!

    It was my first time doing SUP. I considered Lake Shikotsu and Otaru, but Jozankei was the best. Looking up at the bright red bridge that stands out against the blue sky, and deep greenery on both sides. It's a wonderful location. Thanks to the kind and wonderful staff, I was able to stand up and paddle right away. SUP is very fun and feels great. I'm glad I applied to this company! It's a great memory. Thank you ^_^ (This review has been machine translated)
