Rafting and Gliding in Sorachi:
Ishikari River Travels- Taking a Vantage Point of Migratory Birds

Board a raft in Takikawa in the morning and meander down the Ishikari River from the vantage point of waterfowl,
where we will experiencie the natural environment of the river and its surroundings.
Take a ride in a glider, without an engine, at Takikawa Sky Park in the afternoon. We will see a general view of the meandering Ishikari River, wetlands, surrounding fields and migration routes from the vantage point of flying birds. Experience the world of gliders soaring like birds without the noise and vibration of an engine.
(The glider is a two-seater, so participants will take turns flying in pairs with the pilot. The actual flight time will be about 10 minutes. Some participants may have the gliding experience in the morning and the rafting in the afternoon)
Travel to Bibai City after the rafting and gliding activities in Takikawa. Learn about the importance of the remaining swamps and wetlands in the Ishikari Plain at Lake Miyajimanuma, a wetland registered under the Ram sar Convention. You can also observe white-fronted geese returning to their roosts after foraging the surrounding fields.
We will then return to Sapporo to arrive around 19:00.
