A Rare Experience Rowing Out onto 'Togakushi Kagami Pond' Where Boats Are Normally Prohibited! Nagano 'Colors of the Seasons' Campaign Executive Committee x Veltra Conduct a Special Tour to Contribute to Nature Conservation While Enjoying the Superb View of Fresh Greenery

Veltra Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Wataru Futagi), which operates the booking site 'Veltra' specializing in local experiential activities, will hold a conservation activity tour at Kagami Pond in Myoko-Togakushi Sanzan National Park on Sunday, June 7, 2026, in cooperation with the Nagano 'Colors of the Seasons' Campaign Executive Committee by Nagano City and the Togakushi Tourism Association, as part of its National Park Official Partner activities.

Veltra has been continuously conducting conservation activities in Togakushi every year since 2023. Going forward, we aim to realize sustainable tourism through nature conservation activities in national parks by utilizing the National Park Official Partnership.

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.

Not Just Conservation Activities! Special Contents to Fully Play, Learn, and Taste the Fresh Greenery of Togakushi Special Lecture by an Expert to Enjoyably Learn the Nature and History of Togakushi We welcome Researcher Tanabe of the 'Togakushi Geological Fossil Museum' as a lecturer. Hearing Professor Tanabe's talk, which instantly draws in everyone from small children to adults despite his gentle speaking style, is a highly valuable experience in itself. You will deeply and enjoyably learn about the history and biodiversity of Kagami Pond, and why aquatic plant removal is necessary.

Nature Walk Guided by an Experienced Guide from the Togakushi Guide Association In the afternoon, guided by an experienced guide from the Togakushi Guide Association, we will stroll through the forest leading to the approach to Togakushi Shrine. We will take you on a special nature walk, sharing fun episodes and seasonal changes not found in guidebooks or websites, known only to guides who have watched over this land for many years.
