Canadian Voyageur Canoe Picnic Tour
Enjoy a relaxing paddle in a 10 person voyageur canoe across the pristine waters of Lake Aokiko (one of Japan's cleanest lakes located 15 minutes south of Hakuba) to the northern shores where guides will prepare a delicious vegetarian picnic lunch including tofu sandwiches, soup, soy chicken and salad prepared by at Evergreen's Roots Cafe.
The Voyageur canoes are very stable and the high side walls will keep you dry as you gently paddle and take in breathtaking views of Japan's Northern Alps. You will see multiple species of water foul, fish, small forest creatures and there is the possibility of seeing bears and Kamoshika that have come down from the mountains to drink from the crystal waters of Aokiko (Blue Tree Lake).
