Surrounded by the rich nature of Toei Town, Aichi Prefecture, 'Noki Yama Gakko' presents its limited-time summer outdoor program: 'Kayaking & River Play Experience.' This program is part of the activities at the 'Toei Town Experience Exchange Center Noki Yama Gakko,' a facility that revitalizes and utilizes a former wooden elementary school closed in 2010.
The setting is the beautiful Ochise River. You can enjoy the scenery of Japan's lush satoyama (rural landscape) from a unique perspective via kayaking. Rather than just sightseeing, this is an experiential program where you can connect with local nature and learn through hands-on activities, truly living up to the name of a 'school.'
The main highlight is the kayaking experience on the beautiful Ochise River. Viewing the scenery from a low angle near the water surface provides a completely different sense of awe compared to looking from the land. Using 2-person kayaks, this is a perfect opportunity for parents and children or friends to strengthen their communication by working together to paddle.
Beyond kayaking, the charm of this program lies in feeling the texture of the water, the sounds of nature, and the breeze through river play. Forget the hustle and bustle of the city and refresh your mind and body by drifting along the gentle flow of this quintessential Japanese river. It is a precious learning space for children to move their bodies in nature, and a luxurious time for adults to become one with the environment.
This event is held during specific periods in summer. Please check the latest information as dates may vary depending on the year.
The activity takes place near the Tokiwa Bridge on the beautiful Ochise River in Toei Town.
