NOZU Adventure Tourism

NOZU Adventure Tourism runs guided ATV (buggy), kayak and stand‑up paddleboard tours from the Mirai‑e community center in Nozu village, with campsite rentals and gear available. Tours highlight the clear “Niyodo Blue” river environment and nearby rural scenery.

Tours are reservation only and operate with local guides; buggy drivers must hold a standard driver’s license. The operator posts weather‑related cancellations and recommends specific access routes to avoid narrow mountain roads.

Start with a short safety briefing and equipment fitting before heading out on the river or into the trails. Groups are guided and routes are chosen for scenic stretches of the Niyodo River and nearby countryside.

Look out for:

• Clear Niyodo River water and riverbank views during kayak/SUP sections.

• Off‑road trails and riverside tracks on the 4‑wheel buggy routes.

• Combined packages (example: BUGGY+SUP) that mix land and water activities.

• Simple rainwear provided; severe weather may cancel tours.

Best way to experience it: Book in advance, choose a combined buggy+water package if you want both river and trail time, and approach via Route 194 / Prefectural Route 299 as recommended to avoid narrow local mountain roads.

• Reservations are required (完全予約制).

• Buggy/ATV tours require a standard driver’s license.

• Tours may be canceled for severe weather; minor rain can still run with precautions.

• Check access directions to Mirai‑e; some navigation routes use narrow mountain roads.
