Frequently Asked Questions About the Lake Shikotsu SUP Tour

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

Yes, that's no problem! SUP is an activity where you stand on a board—you don't need to swim. You'll wear a high-buoyancy life jacket during the session, so even if you can't swim, you can participate with confidence.

Q. What should I wear on the day of the trial session?
Please arrive wearing your swimsuit and clothing that can get wet (such as a rash guard, T-shirt, or shorts). Since Lake Shikotsu is a high-altitude mountain lake, it may feel a bit chilly depending on the season and time of day. It’s a good idea to bring a light jacket to wear over your swimwear. Also, please bring water shoes to protect your feet.
Q. Can young children and elderly family members participate as well?
Although the age requirements vary by plan, SUP is a relaxing activity enjoyed on calm lake waters, making it suitable for everyone from children to seniors. It’s also highly recommended for three-generation families. Participation requirements vary by plan, so please check them when making your reservation.
