Hokkaido Jozankei SUP Stand Up Paddle Board Experience

Our Favourites

Jozankei is surrounded by mountains and has very rich natural resources. It is close to Sapporo, the most prosperous city in Hokkaido, and is a quiet hot spring town in the bustling city. This activity is a paddle board experience activity of about 1 km. The forest and refreshing wind in summer, as well as the colorful leaves in autumn, make it a very popular tourist destination. Take a paddle board, cross the canyon, listen to the birdsong and gurgling water in the canyon, and explore places that are usually inaccessible. The average depth of the river in the activity area is about 1 meter, and the flow is slow. There are guides to explain, so even first-time participants can participate with confidence.
