Miyajima Kayak

Notes on the Tour

What to Wear&Bring

Everyone will get wet below their knees when getting on/off the kayak. Although you will most likely not go in the water, we recommend wearing water-resistant clothes in case you do. We have a few items available to rent, so please contact us when booking.

Do not bring anything that should not get wet. We have an expression at the shop, “If you love it, leave it.”
