The Biggest Appeal of This Tour: Going Out on the Water of 'Kagami Pond', Which is Normally Prohibited, Under Special Permission!
The biggest highlight of this tour is the aquatic plant removal work at 'Kagami Pond', a superb scenic spot representing Togakushi. To protect the important natural environment of the national park, the entry of boats and the like is normally strictly restricted at Kagami Pond. However, this time, under special permission, participants themselves can row boats and go to the middle of the pond! While fully enjoying the extremely rare experience of monopolizing the beautiful 'upside-down Togakushi' of fresh greenery reflected on the water surface from the lake, an experience that absolutely cannot be tasted anywhere else, you can directly contribute to activities that protect the landscape and ecosystem.
