Submerged Forest Canoe Tour - Spectacular spring scenery spreading across Lake Shirakawa - Let's go on an adventure! Beginners can feel safe with a guide and receive a photo as a gift!

[March 22 to May 24] A 90-minute experience tour exploring the miraculous scenic beauty by canoe. Only for a short time in spring, the lake level rises due to melting snow, revealing a submerged forest. Hop in a canoe and embark on an adventure deep into the submerged forest, which cannot be seen from within the park! The mysterious sensation of dissolving into nature and the exciting experience of gliding through the trees await you.
