Experience the spectacular scenery with your whole body! Activities to enjoy in the rivers, ocean, and mountains

Tohoku, rich in natural beauty, is full of spots where you can enjoy outdoor leisure activities. Activities with spectacular views, offering unique experiences found only in this region, are especially popular♪


For example, there is river trekking, where you walk along the clear stream that flows through the beech trees of Shirakami Sanchi, a World Heritage Site where precious natural beauty remains!


In Matsushima, one of the Three Scenic Views of Japan, you can float your board on the calm ocean and enjoy spectacular views that can't be seen from land while experiencing SUP!


We also recommend taking a tour with a comfortable ride on an electric mountain bike that is easy to use for climbing. The tour takes you through the magnificent scenery of Hachimantai, with views of Mt. Iwate♪


All activities are accompanied by professional guides, so even beginners can feel at ease. Enjoy the nature of Tohoku with your whole body!

River trekking along the clear streams of Shirakami Sanchi♪

Shirakami River Trekking is a perfect activity for the hot season, where you can enjoy the blessings of the mountains in Shirakami Sanchi, a World Natural Heritage Site! You can enjoy walking in the shallow waters of the clear stream that flows through the vast beech tree forest♪

 Surrounded by a beautiful, deep green forest, the river is so clear you can see your feet at the bottom! You can splash around in the shallows and float in the deep pools while enjoying the cool, refreshing feeling of the water.

After a good workout, enjoy lunch by a clear stream♪ In this special space, the taste of the bento box made with plenty of local ingredients is exceptional!

From the sea, enjoy the spectacular views of Matsushima, one of Japan's best SUP areas!

Matsushima, one of the Three Scenic Views of Japan, features a unique topography with over 260 islands floating in the bay. The waves are calm and the area is not easily affected by the wind, making it the perfect spot for a SUP experience♪

What's more, you can experience the spectacular views that you normally see from land up close, and even see special views that can only be seen from the sea!

You can paddle through the water, control the board, slip between small islands, go through tunnels, and enjoy the beauty of nature's sculptures. What's more, the photos you take during the experience will be sent to you as digital files♪
