1. Kayaking experience (Akiota Town Sandankyo)
You can try kayaking at Sandankyo Rapid Kayak School in Akiota Town. If you are interested in kayaking, there is no problem even if you are inexperienced. We use a highly stable boat called a fan kayak, so it is unlikely to tip over. Practice paddling on land and then try floating on the calm surface of the water.

A great adventure in a clear stream just 1 hour from the center of Hiroshima city. Climb waterfalls, go down thrilling slides, and dive into waterfall basins as you travel upstream through the river. An extraordinary experience awaits. There is no doubt that you will discover a new self!

3. Open cafe by the water
As part of our efforts to make Hiroshima the City of Water, we are running open waterfront cafes along the Kyobashi and Motoyasu rivers. Why not spend a relaxing moment at a stylish cafe or restaurant by the water, enjoying the bright green trees and the refreshing breeze. There are many restaurants where you can stop by for lunch, tea time, or dinner.

Etajima City is an island located approximately 25 minutes by high-speed boat and 40 minutes by ferry from Hiroshima City, and approximately 10 minutes by high-speed boat and 20 minutes by ferry from Kure City. The island has a variety of courses, from flatlands to hill climbs, and there is little traffic and traffic lights, making it ideal for cycling. Some teams come to practice LSD (Long Slow Distance), which involves running slowly over long distances.
