Canoe experience in the spectacular Sogi Falls area
Experience the Impressive Sogi Falls and its Surrounds by Canoe
The Kirishima mountain range, from which springs flow into the Sendai River, is home to the Sogi Waterfall located midstream. With a width of 210 meters and a height of 12 meters, the waterfall presents a grand scale. You can canoe down the river around this waterfall, aiming for the popular Sogi Power Station Ruins Point, a nostalgic landscape. It’s a tour where you can relax in the great outdoors.
We also welcome wheelchair users. Our experienced and specialized guides will assist you.
In the surrounding area, we can also introduce you to experiences with wild herbs and medicinal plants, as well as dining options. Please enjoy your visit.
Contents / Overview
For the 60-minute course, we enter the Sendai River from downstream of Sogi Falls. We aim for the remains of the Sogi Falls Power Station, a hydroelectric power station that was active around the late 1800s, by canoe or SUP.
For the 120-minute course, we land on the riverbank halfway and enjoy a cafe time in nature.
