    If you are wondering about canoeing, this is the place to go! You can choose in advance whether you want to canoe alone or with two people, so even if you are not confident about your physical strength, it is okay! We were guided by a nice guide and had our picture taken as well! I heard that you can go through the mangroves when the tide is high, so next time I would like to join the tour with better timing! I think this is the only place where you can get such a satisfying experience at such a reasonable price!

    I was worried about the weather, temperature, and clothing on the day of the tour. On the day of the tour, it was raining so hard from the morning that we gave up halfway through the tour. However, the tour guide was kind enough to consider our request until 90 minutes before the tour time, so the rain eased up and we were able to participate in the tour. The guide's stories were interesting and I was impressed by the scenery that I would not normally be able to see. If I ever visit Amami again, I would definitely ask for a tour.

    It was my first time to go canoeing and the guide was very nice and very enjoyable! It was the first time for me and my mother to go canoeing, but we could not go under the mangrove! Unfortunately, we could not go under the mangrove by canoe, but he told us many stories and told us about various creatures such as herons and crabs, and told us many stories about sightseeing in Amami, which made the tour memorable and fun. It was also a valuable experience for me to walk among the mangroves where the water was receding. I would like to book here again the next time I visit Amami! (At that time, at a time when it is not low tide (lol))

    In the morning we went canoeing. It was my first time canoeing, so I was scared of the rocking until I got the hang of it! With the advice of the guide, the rocking stopped and I was able to calm down. It was great to see the mangroves up close, which can only be done by canoe! In the afternoon, we went to Kinsakubara. The guide was born there and has over 30 years of experience as a guide, so it was more than just a trekking tour as he taught us about the plants in detail and made it fun!
