Kayaking in Yuzawa

It's getting warm in Snow Country. The snow is melting and the cherry blossoms aren't too far away. With spring here everybody wants to head outside to enjoy the weather. All over the region there is a wealth of activities to keep you occupied in the coming months that let you enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature.

We've mentioned Minakami before as a great location to enjoy adventure sports, but Yuzawa too has its fair share of outdoor activities and kayaking is a great choice. It is easy to learn, lots of fun and great exercise. You'll go somewhere you don't normally go and see the landscape from a different perspective. It is also a great activity for the family to enjoy together.

Over at Daigenta Lake you can take part in a great day of kayaking with professional instruction, safety gear and a stunning lunch from the Italian restaurant, Taverna Vicini. There is plenty more to do over that way too so it is easy to spend a few days there. For the full nature experience you can take advantage of the camp ground and sleep underneath the stars.
