It was a great trip and two guides where very kind,helpfull, very keen on my safety :) my teammates where also very nice people from different parts of the world :) hope to join back soon with all of them ;) thank you :)

It seems like TSC is magic. The kayaking was beautifully curated - great location and outstanding guide. Go rain or shine! We had a brief moment of rain but the weather was still fabulous and in the morning we had a light fog along the lake and tucked into the folds of the mountains. The lunch spot with the sake tasting room next door was a highlight- incredible natural location along the river.

Had a great time on the trip! We started reasonably early from Shinjuku but this helped avoid crowds and have a comfortable train journey. The sake brewery was an unexpected delight - really lovely setting, good and well priced food and of course a great selection of good quality sake. I enjoyed the group we were with - a pretty diverse crowd, easy to make new friends. KG, our guide, made sure the whole adventure went smoothly and had just the right friendly attitude. Kayaking was fun and definitely for beginners - no strong currents, clear and calm water. The instructors spoke mostly Japanese but our guide translated everything perfectly. We went a bit upstream and then downstream, all under close supervision. The kayaks were a little difficult to control but not a big deal overall. The group was about 20 people but it did not feel crowded neither on the water nor during transport or lunch.

I enjoyed nature so much that I could hardly believe I was in Tokyo. We were able to kayak even in light rain, and the group leader and members were very friendly and enjoyable.

My spouse and I had a nice time joining a group of 11 ppl on a kayaking trip in Okutama. All the logistics were taken care of and although it was raining, the kayak company had rain jackets that we could wear while kayaking to stay warm. We enjoyed visiting the sake brewery town in Sawai and eating at a tofu specialty restaurant. It was also fun meeting a diverse group of people from Tokyo.

Very good experience with Senia, a lot of fun even with the rainny day. Recommended. Michael

Suitable for beginners. We were lucky it was a sunny day so we could see the bottom of the river through the clean and transparent water. We spotted some cute ducks. A locker for our belongings was available at the location, you don't have to carry everything with you on the kayak so don't worry about it :) The kayaking instructor could not speak English very well but the tour guide was there to assist with the translation if needed.

Summer time is when the valley is green and the water is cool enough for a swim. Once you're done with the kayaking you can head on down to the sake-brewery, get some stuff to drink, and may be dunk in the river : )

it was a very nice trip. really enjoying with new friends and guides. logistic supports were enough. It's the best place for autumn kayaking and natural beauty.

Kayaking on Okutama is one of the coolest things I've done around Tokyo. Sunny weather, blue waters, and battling to keep the kayak straight, esp. in parts of the river where the stream gets stronger. Awesome! Can't recommend this enough.
