Canoe & Kayak

【A Journey Through Silence on the Water】 Encounter the hidden expressions of the forest with "Hatori Lake Canoe and Kayak"

At an altitude of about 700 meters, "Hatori Lake" is one of the lakes closest to the sky. Canoes and kayaks gliding across its transparent surface transform the scenery we see in our daily lives into a fantastical other world in an instant. The only sound that echoes on the lake is the faint noise of paddles cutting through the water. Here, the ultimate silence spreads, where forest and water merge.

■ Invitation to a "Sanctuary" Accessible Only from the Lake

The greatest pleasure of the canoe experience on Hatori Lake lies in the ability to closely observe bays and pristine forests that cannot be accessed by land.

• A Revolution in Perspective: The fresh green leaves and autumn foliage viewed from just above the water's surface come at you on an overwhelming scale. The experience of weaving through the branches of trees that extend over the lakeshore and navigating the intricately intertwined "Water Corridor" gives you a sense of exhilaration as if you have become an adventurer.
• The Pulse of Life: Occasionally, you can see fish leaping from the surface and wild birds soaring in the sky. You can experience a humble and pure sense of unity, as if you are gently intruding into nature's embrace.

■ A Free "Water Walk" that Releases the Heart

A canoe without engine noise offers a luxurious time to feel the wind with your own strength and read the flow of the water.

• Calm Waters Friendly to Beginners: Hatori Lake's gentle waves make it appealing for first-timers and families to paddle out with confidence. The sensation of gliding over the water, with your mind and body released, becomes an irreplaceable "healing" experience.

The blue of the sky, the green of the mountains, and the coolness of the water brushing against your fingertips. Why not experience a "free holiday" where you can monopolize the vast panorama of Hatori Lake?
