    Very easy river trek due to the steady and calm current and no rapids; the upper river is quite fast (5 km/h) and more natural than down river of course but totally doable; perfect for bird watchers since there quite man...

    Very easy but not that beautiful as it‘s in the center of Tokyo, a city that isn’t beautiful at all, however, a good chance to come very close to the Tokyo Sky Tree; moreover, you can see uncounted big and small birds as...

    Beautiful journey to the amazing Mizuochi Waterfalls; since I had a slight east wind it was quite easy to paddle the distance; don’t do it on windy days, it can be quite hard and dangerous!

    due to the low water level of the river you can’t go to the waterfall by boat and have to get off and walk also in the river; if you don’t have a kayak you can also walk to the waterfall from a little bridge (not the big...
