Concept
Everyone can paddle, everyone can smile
On Aoki Lake, known for its outstanding clarity, guests who need physical support, their families, and even dogs can all set out on the water together. About 20 minutes by car from Cafe Maica (maica's cafe & kitchen).
Welfare staff alongside

A refreshing time for those watching, too
Family members waiting can relax at the adjacent maica's cafe & kitchen or by the calm lakeside while watching their loved ones smile on the water.
Pets welcome
