About this activity

In addition to mangroves, the Hijagawa River is home to many cute creatures such as small crabs and gobies, as well as plants that give you power.

It's a calm river where children as young as 2 years old can participate, so you can see nature up close.

Recommended for everyone from children to the elderly!

《Don't worry if it's your first time! 》

A thorough lecture on how to hold the paddle, how to operate the kayak, and tips on how to proceed successfully.

The guide will kindly tell you things to be careful about when getting on and off, and anything you don't understand.

《All necessary equipment is free to rent! 》

Life jackets, sandals, towels, hats, waterproof cases, and rain gear are available for rent (^^)

You can participate anytime as long as you wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet!

《Held in Kadena town with good access》

Kadena Town is 45 minutes by car from Naha.

Access is also good, taking only 25 minutes from the Onna village area!

It's right off the main road, National Route 58, so it's easy to find the way and it's hard to get lost.

After getting out of the kayak, you will change clothes and your guide will give you a photo of your memories. The Hija River, which can be enjoyed casually, has many attractions, including mangroves, cute creatures such as small crabs and gobies, and plants that give you energy. It is a calm river that children from 2 years old can participate in, so you can see nature up close. Recommended for everyone from children to the elderly! 《Please feel free to participate even if you do not speak Japanese》 We will support you thoroughly until the day of the reservation using the message function.
