Tokyo Autumn Escape: Kayak, SUP & Sake Tasting Trip

Kayak or SUP along the gentle Okutama River, surrounded by stunning autumn colors and beautiful mountain scenery.

After your paddle, enjoy a short walk along a peaceful riverside trail to a local sake brewery, where you’ll have the chance to sample freshly brewed, locally made sake.

It’s the perfect way to spend a relaxing day outdoors—combining nature, culture, and the beauty of Japan in the fall.
