The Oi River, which originates in the Southern Alps at an altitude of 3,000m and runs north to south through Shizuoka Prefecture, is truly a "mother river." In the river basin, there are various activities available in the natural environment.

Crossing the suspension bridge and hiking around the huge Nagashima Dam, or kayaking on the emerald green lake surface will make you realize just how small you are in the midst of nature.

Some activities are guided, so even beginners can enjoy them with peace of mind.

Take an aerial stroll over the Oi River while tasting Shimada tea

Nanamagari Sky Park in the middle reaches of the Oi River is one of Japan's leading paragliding spots. Known as "Uyama no Nanamagari," you can enjoy an aerial stroll while looking at the large meandering Oi River and the tea fields that spread out on both sides of the river.

The instructor is Mr. Miyata, the World Cup paragliding champion.

"Paragliding Ippuku" is a unique activity where you can enjoy a tandem flight (two people) with Mr. Miyata, drinking green tea before, during or after the paragliding. Taking a break at an altitude of 700m is a valuable experience that can only be had in Suruga.
