Why Miyagawa?
What makes this place special
Crystal Clear Water
The Miyagawa River has been rated Japan's #1 clearest river more than 10 times in national water quality surveys. The emerald green water is so transparent you can see the riverbed.
Untouched Nature
Surrounded by dense forest in Odai Town, Mie Prefecture. No crowds, no noise — just you, the river, and the sound of birds. A true hidden gem of Japan.
Friendly Local Guides
Our English-speaking guides will teach you everything from scratch. Even if you've never tried SUP before, you'll be standing and paddling within minutes. Small groups only.
