What you'll do
We will go on a sea kayak journey to Tokyo Skytree, a symbol of the city.
At 634 meters (2,080 feet), it's the tallest tower in Japan, and was designed in the image of a big tree stretching up into the blue sky.
Our course will be a round trip of two and half hours. On the way, you will see the scenery of the city in harmony with nature—a kingfisher like a blue arrow, a family of ducks floating elegantly, migratory birds by season, jumping fish, and drifting jellyfish.
In the oasis of the city, there are a lot of creatures. You will discover the appearance of the new Tokyo.
This experience is beginner-friendly, and corresponds to all levels of kayaking. There is very little current, and the waterways are peaceful, so it's suitable for beginners. If you don't have confidence, tandem kayaks are available.
A kayak doesn’t rely on motor power, and we will be able to slowly advance with the flow of the city.
Other things to note
I decide lastly by a weather forecast at 17-18:00 on the previous day, so please check my message.
Please contact me if your group is more than 6 people.
If you would like a day not on schedule, please contact me.

Being as outdoor guide especially with kayaking about for 20 years.
I had gained experience as the guide in Hokkaido and Okinawa and traveled out of Japan more than 3000 km in total by sea kayak.
Also I know special course in Tokyo by kayak from my experience as the guide here.
I am glad if I could share the attraction of kayaking to you through this experience.

Takashi san gives clear instructions in English. I had a wonderful first time experience . He also takes good pictures with his camera during the trip. He explains history of places during paddling as well. We were safely able to paddle to and fro to Sky Tree.

There are jumping fish everywhere! You get to see animals, natures, people fishing, etc. along the way, which was truly a relaxing experience. The Skytree becomes closer and closer and once you reach it, the view is just amazing. Thank you Takashi for the great experience!

An incredible way to experience one of the greatest cities in the world. I have had zero experiencing kayaking but Takashi was a great teacher and came equipped with everything you could ever need for this amazing experience. He also shared some beautiful photographs of the trip! I will certainly be revisiting this when I return to Tokyo.
