Frequently Asked Questions About Canoe (Kayak) Tours on Lake Shikotsu in Hokkaido

Q. I'm not a strong swimmer. Can I still participate in the trial session?

Yes, that's no problem! During the trial session, you'll wear a high-buoyancy life jacket, so even if you can't swim, you can participate with confidence. Since canoeing and kayaking are generally done on calm lake waters, you can paddle along at a leisurely pace.

Q. What should I wear on the day of the trial session?
Please wear comfortable clothing that can get wet (such as quick-drying T-shirts, long pants, or shorts). Since the water in Lake Shikotsu is often cold, it’s a good idea to bring a light jacket to wear even in the summer. Also, please bring sandals or water shoes to protect your feet.
Q. Can young children and elderly family members participate as well?
Although the age requirements vary by package, we offer options—such as two-person canoes and guided kayaking tours—that everyone from children to seniors can enjoy together. Since these activities take place on calm lake waters, they’re highly recommended for families. Participation requirements vary by package, so please check them when making your reservation.
