Lake Shirakawa SUP Tour – A Guided 2-Hour Adventure for Beginners & Families with Complimentary Photos. Cool Off on the Water This Summer!

[June - September] Enjoy a guided SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboard) tour on the beautiful waters of Lake Shirakawa, surrounded by the stunning natural scenery of Yamagata. Even if it is your first time on a SUP board, our experienced guides will provide full instruction and support, helping you feel comfortable and confident on the water. Spend two peaceful hours immersed in nature while enjoying a fun and refreshing adventure. Gliding across the lake offers a unique sense of freedom and connection with nature. As part of a guided tour, you can relax and enjoy the experience safely. Complimentary digital photos taken during the tour will be provided after your adventure. Falling into the water is often part of the fun of SUP! However, our guides will provide appropriate guidance based on weather and water conditions to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Please be sure to bring a change of clothes in case you get wet. Escape the summer heat and enjoy an unforgettable day on one of Yamagata’s most scenic lakes. Dogs are also welcome!
