Immerse in the nocturnal nature of Obihiro

Despite its proximity to a city, the Obihiro River is abundant in nature, and winter sees the arrival of many migratory birds, including whooper swans from Siberia. A truly unique experience not to be missed is a night river cruise down the river. There’s no energetic paddling involved – this is a relaxing ride down the river which allows you to experience the sounds of nature without any distractions. On a clear night, you can see the moon and the stars carpeting the sky above, creating a stunning contrast with the darkness of the surrounding forest.

After the cruise, enjoy the afterglow with some delicious local sweets which will be offered as souvenirs. The cruise is suitable for everyone, including children (at least 3 years old) if accompanied by a parent or guardian, as the staff are on hand to ensure the safety and ease of accessing the vessel.

While cruising in the silent night, take in the sounds of the wind, water, and the wildlife around you. Enjoy the tranquility of nature away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
