【Details】
Row a SUP and visit the World Heritage site, Itsukushima Shrine. Itsukushima Shrine has a history of 1400 years and is a power spot (location thought to be flowing with mystical energy). You will feel an overwhelming sense of existence and spirituality. Itsukushima Shrine, which is built in the sea, is an extremely rare shrine. The sight of the shrine from far away is extremely beautiful, but enjoy the dynamic and unique trip by SUP. In this plan, you can get close to the great shrine gate of Miyajima. This shrine gate reaches 16 meters and is the biggest wooden shrine gate in Japan. Seeing it up close is very spectacular and will definitely become an unforgettable memory.
A SUP is, unlike a boat, something you row yourself and give you a sense of excitement and fulfillment. Furthermore, different from a sea kayak, you paddle a SUP while standing so you will have a very wide view and you can feel an exhilarating feeling. Rest assured as the certified staff will give you a lesson before you start. Even beginners can enjoy SUP. Have a relaxing time while coming in contact with the nature of Miyajima.
A special course is also provided for advanced participants. People with SUP experience will embark from a beach on the other side of Miyajima and will go by SUP for around 2 kilometers. You can experience scenery that is unique, even in Japan, with a sea consisting of a gentle bay and beautiful scenery of various floating islands.
