Rafting
Rafting is an activity where you ride a rubber boat down a raging river.
You can experience roller-coaster-like thrills out in nature.
It’s especially recommended during the peak summer heat, because no matter what you do, you’re going to get wet.
Be sure to try it with your family!
Play with room lang and flat ball
“Roomrang” refers to an indoor boomerang.
“Flat Ball” is a curious ball that can be folded to change shape.
Both are safe for kids to play with, making them perfect for camping with children! You can buy each for around 1,000 yen, and they don’t take up much space, so they’re easy to bring along.
If you’re worried that “the kids might get bored halfway through,” be sure to check them out.

How about enjoying a day out on the water with a rental cruiser? When you head to the seaside for outdoor activities or camping, being able to go offshore really boosts the sense of adventure.
Since it’s a special camping trip, trying something unique will surely make for great memories!
