Why not try canoeing or playing in the river at the ``special fields'' of Obihiro and Tokachi?
Even if it's your first time, it's okay to go down the river in a Canadian canoe.
At Outdoor Garage Tokachi, we use a "twin canoe" which is a combination of two canoes. It is extremely stable, so beginners, children, and seniors can participate with peace of mind! Our guide will carefully operate the canoe and provide explanations about the nature, history, and culture, so you can enjoy a leisurely river trip with peace of mind.

We often hear people say, "I'm tired of famous tourist spots" or "The crowds are tiring," but at Outdoor Garage, we will show you spots with beautiful water and locations that are less known even locally! We will do our best to help you create memories of your trip by providing a relaxing time and space!
Outdoor Garage Tokachi: A place for all your outdoor activities!
While our summer activities are focused on waterside fun and winter activities on snow, we also offer a variety of accessory activities on hotter days, such as river chairing, gemstone (obsidian) and lignite hunting, SUP, and simple fishing! We aim to be an outdoor garage where you can enjoy all kinds of outdoor activities!
Outdoor Garage Tokachi Recommendations
Twin Canoe River Cruise
This is a great value tour that starts from the cleanest river in Japan, the Satsunai River, and takes you down two rivers that merge into the mighty Tokachi River. It's a twin canoe, so it's extremely stable and can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from 3 years old to seniors! The clarity of the "Satsunai Blue" water is truly impressive.
OBIHIRO
Private River Cruise
This is a one-day day camp and private river cruise on the Totsubetsu River, a little-known river in Tokachi. It's a tour perfect for honeymooners, families, and groups. It's also close to Obihiro Airport and the camping and glamping facilities in the Nakasatsunai area.
NAKASATSUNAI
Mirror Pond Canadian Canoe
Take a leisurely stroll on the water in a Canadian canoe along the mirror-like waters of the source of the Satsunai River! This is a field where you can feel the richness of nature throughout the seasons. Since it is in Nakasatsunai, we can also provide accommodation such as glamping and camping if you wish.

Let's share the wonderful time and space of Tokachi with a smile!
I have 29 years of experience as an outdoor guide. Currently, I mainly work as a river guide, providing activities such as rafting, canoeing, kayaking, and SUP on the rivers of Tokachi, Hokkaido. In the winter, I do private backcountry boarding. I have also been a hot air balloon pilot for 24 years.
I have worked in many different places, but Tokachi has the brightest image and is a great location with the Hidaka Mountains and Daisetsu Mountains, so I started up my own business, "Outdoor Garage Tokachi," in the spring of 2025.
Please come and share the wonderful time and space of Tokachi with a smile! I look forward to seeing you at "Kawa CAFE" and "Kawara CAFE"!!
