I've done a lot of outdoor sports and adventure, but this was my first time in a river kayak. I think I've found myself a new sport. The beautiful nature in Japan is abundant and it's one of the things I've grown to appreciate here most. Thanks to Lincoln at Green Discovery Japan for the accelerated kayak lesson and tour.
