Tokushima Prefecture
Opened in July 2022, Hessokko Water Sports Complex is a water activity facility located along the shores of Lake Ikeda, an artificial lake created by the Ikeda Dam on the Yoshino River in Tokushima Prefecture. Surrounded by lush mountains and forests, the complex offers a variety of outdoor water activities, including stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), canoeing, rafting, and banana boating. Visitors of all ages can enjoy an active day in a beautiful natural setting.
Lake Ikeda Loghouse serves as the base of the facility and is equipped with everything needed for a safe and comfortable water adventure. Wetsuits and life jackets are available for rental, and guests can take breaks at designated rest areas while enjoying the peaceful lakeside atmosphere. Pets are also welcome.
