RIB Pioneer’s captain used to work on luxury cruise ships as a ship officer. We will guide you to a mysterious lake full of legends!

Conquer Lake Towada completely!
We will cruise for over 21km! Jungle cruise in the depths of Lake Towada with using the safety and speed of a military boat! We will show you some great landscapes which you have hardly ever seen!
This boat tour cruises around the untouched areas of land in Lake Towada. It is near the Fortune-telling area “Uranaiba” which is known as the most spiritual place, and Ki-iwa rock which is said to be the image of Nansonobo who had austere training in Kumano, and became Lake Towada’s guardian. And we also cruise Omuro which is a mysterious cave, Tsurugi-iwa rock (it looks like a sword), Eboshi-iwa rock (it looks like the headgear worn by noblemen in court attire) and Byobu-iwa rock (it looks like a folding screen), which are certified as scenic spots in Lake Towada.
