The works created over time are detailed and delicate... I am overwhelmed by the beauty that I can't believe is human work!

A Pleasant Lake Experience to Enjoy✨ Miyoshi is finally cooling down in the mornings and evenings, and the season to fully enjoy outdoor activities has arrived😊 This fall’s top recommendation is the “Ten-chan’s Haizuka Lake SUP Tour,” which we’d like to introduce😊 SUP stands for Stand Up Puddle. You stand on a board and paddle across the water, gliding smoothly in this popular activity. Even complete beginners, from children to seniors, can get up on the board quickly after a lesson. The greatest appeal is that you can enjoy it easily without worrying about fitness✨ The SUP instructor is Ten-chan, an experienced surfing and SUP instructor. Her careful teaching and radiant smile are highly praised, so even first-timers can feel at ease and enjoy themselves. Unlike the sea, you can relax on the calm lake surface. Surrounded by Haizuka Lake’s rich nature, you can savor a graceful stroll across the water🥰 Instruction proceeds at each participant’s pace, so few people fall into the water. Those who are determined to fall can keep trying challenging moves until they do! Since splashes may wet your hands and feet, please bring a change of clothes. You can change in a simple tent on site. Fresh water is prepared in a tank. If you fall in, you can rinse off inside the tent. “The leaves will soon be beautiful. Temperatures are comfortable, making this the best season for SUP! Anyone can feel free to get in touch😊,” says instructor Ten-chan. Why not try SUP in Miyoshi this fall? It’s sure to be a fun autumn day!
