Lake Towada is a mysterious lake that straddles Akita and Aomori Prefectures.
The “Towada Furusato Center” (Kosaka Town), located on the western shore of the lake, offers casual summer activities such as stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and kayaking.
With flexible plans tailored to each individual—from young children to seniors—anyone can enjoy these activities with ease.
No special equipment is required.
We highly recommend this for those who say, “I’m not sure about my stamina, but I’d like to relax on the lake,” or “I want to play in the water to my heart’s content with my kids!”
The staff will guide and support you based on the experience you’d like to try.
Why not come and enjoy Lake Towada to the fullest this summer with your family and friends?
