Otaru is new in Activity with the different taste at time, wouldn't you like to find how to enjoy oneself? I'll introduce Experience which makes the outdoor leisure circled Otaru and the tour of town of a basic more fun to a sea and a mountain.

The spot light in the sun comes in the cave made with erosion of seawater with "blue cave", and surface of the sea looks spangled with which in blue. Italy and Okinawa are famous, but it also exists in Otaru actually.
"Tatsumiya cruise" then, a waiting room and boarding point are putting a boat tour of all journey for about 80 minutes going around a cave of Otaru blue into effect during 4 Monday-October, and are at about 15 minutes on foot more than Otaru Station. Picturesque scenery in Niseko-shakotan-otaru-kaigan quasi national park is showing one after another in a route to the cave, and I don't tire. The fantastic space where that place was drawn by a stratum and surface of the sea when I advanced towards the inside in a circled cave in the rock surface where I weave more than ancient times and pile up. Sound of waves is affected and is charmed by the mysterious world beyond human intelligence in the silence.

An encounter with the superb view and the wildlife I desire from a sea is also pleasant.

A power boat pursues easiness of taking it, and is improved, and a comfortable cruising can be enjoyed.

I challenge popular Marine Activity at a sea in Otaru.

Stability is using an expensive SUP board, so it's easy to balance by a beginner, too.
Stability is using an expensive SUP board, so it's easy to balance by a beginner, too.

Activity where SUP (SAPPU) stands on the board similar to a surfboard by an abbreviation of stand up paddleboard, rows a paddle and advances a surface of the water. Everyone can enjoy himself from a child to an adult, and I become popular all over the world.
"SAVE BLEU Sup Labo St." then, during 6 Monday-September, SUP touring is being put into effect using Enya coast in Otaru-shi suburb as a foothold. Enya coast is learned about by the height of the clarity, and the exhilarating feeling I begin to row to a clear sea doesn't collect so that the bottom of the sea is seen from the top of SUP. You can have market share tours for beginners (about 1 hour and a half) and the private tour which is a set of limitation for 1 day (about 2 hours) and choose according to the experience and the request.

Pleasure and the feeling of opening jolted in a wave are in an inveterate habit.

A sea on a blue and clear Enya coast is photograph conspicuous enough. Experience, guide Staff/staff member takes a picture of the state.

SUP doesn't need a special skill. A person anxious about standing up and rowing stands up and rows by the knee, and can relax and enjoy himself freely according to the physical strength and the technology while lying down on the board and shaking flickeringly. It's possible to go to the superb view spot which can be judged from support of guide Staff/staff member familiar with a sea in Otaru only from a sea.
When it isn't with high waves, even the sun when it rains can rise in a sea, so the point about which I'm also glad can't worry about the weather and can make an itinerary. When feeling of opening a grand sea and SUP which becomes one is tasted once, they seem to give themselves up.

Otaru is outstanding in Tenguyama of altitude 532.4m, view spot. A ropeway is running to the peak, and you can meet the superb view of which I get a bird's-eye view from Otaru city to Sea of Japan.

The wire by which it's about 128 m of full length also to become popular among the inside, the "TENGUU zip line" which glides by a pulley. Some time when I glide while looking down upon a town in Otaru like a miniature garden is the feeling flying in the air at all. They're 1000 yen for once and the reasonable charge, so a zip line can also challenge the first one casually.

The night view which flashes like a jewel is enjoyed fully from the sky.

The balloon lit up by the fire of the burner is photograph conspicuous enough.

One of the charm by which conversation with kurumaotto with abundant individuality is also rickshaw. You introduce an interesting place in tourist attraction and a trivia by knowledge and a fun toque of the professional who knew everything of a town in Otaru. To be able to bring a tourist to the happy hunting ground I hardly know and the thin lane you can't enter by car at time. When wavering in store election of lunch and dinner, you can tell local gourmet information.
Rickshaw suits retrospective streets in Otaru well. Everyone of kurumaotto is familiar with the spot for which photograph is conspicuous and how to take a picture, and it's also wonderful service to take the nice picture which can't be taken by itself.
