Tokyo Escape: Kayak, SUP and Sake Tasting Trip

Let’s go kayaking (or SUP boarding) along the gentle Okutama River while enjoying beautiful scenery and the stunning natural surroundings!

After paddling, take a short walk along a scenic riverside trail to a local sake brewery, where we’ll have the chance to taste some locally made sake.
