AMUSE SPORTS

River fun in nature—going down the upper stream of Toyohira River and Jozankei in a Canadian canoe

The appeal of the canoe tour down Toyohira River and Jozankei organized by “AMUSE SPORTS” in Sapporo, in addition to the beauty of the valley as seen from the water, is the fact that you can also take along young children aged 3 and over and your pet dog. It depends on the body weight and balance, but a family of four with young children can charter a single boat and enjoy some river fun. The flow of the river is gentle, so it is safe even for beginners. There are canoe lovers and guides who have passed the “Hokkaido Outdoor Examination”, and in addition to canoeing, they will teach you other ways to enjoy the valley, such as ways to navigate the river or scenic spots. Why not make it into a pack plan by combining a day trip to the hot springs, a lunch or fruit picking?
