Lake Moniwakko Kayak Tours

Easy access on the Tohoku Expressway, approximately 30 minutes from the Fukushima-Iizaka Interchange and approximately 20 minutes from Iizaka Onsen hot spring! The Surikamigawa Dam puts the beautiful nature of this protected water source area to use and can contain Tokyo Dome 123 times over! Enjoy kayaking in this immense space. This outdoor sport involves sitting in a kayak, a small watercraft that glides across the surface of a lake or ocean with the use of a double-bladed paddle and has a closed deck that covers the lower half of the body. Surikamigawa Dam, popularly known as Lake Moniwakko, is the source of "Fukushima no Mizu" water which won the Monde Selection Gold Award three years in a row. Because motorboats are prohibited, guests can fully enjoy nature and the beauty of the peaceful lake during the kayak tour. Instructors will of course support you with kindness and courtesy, making the experience fun and safe even for beginners. Let your heart and body be healed while experiencing the sensation of lightly floating close to the water's surface as you glide across the vast expanse of Surikamigawa Dam like a water glider. You'll feel like you're on an expedition as you move from waters nearly as wide as the ocean to progress to the upper reaches of the river while taking in scenery rich in seasonal variety.
