WATERFRONT EXPERIENCE & DESIGN
ON-WATER
SAFETY.
Safety comes first on the waterfront.
Every canal and lake has its own conditions and rules.
We’re reviewing safety measures for water bicycle experiences at each site.
Water bicycle experiences are in development We’ll announce locations, dates and participation requirements when confirmed.
SAFETY PLANNING
What we check
before launch.
Equipment and safety gear
We’re reviewing equipment for each waterway, pre-departure checks, life jacket sizing and how staff will check that jackets fit.
Weather and cancellation decisions
We’re reviewing when to proceed or cancel based on local wind, waves, currents and visibility.
Staffing and emergency response
We plan pre-departure briefings, supervision on the water and how to call for help and respond if someone becomes unwell or falls into the water.
BEFORE YOU RIDE
What we’ll share
before each session.
Each session’s information will cover who can take part, where to meet and board, what to wear and bring, and how we’ll notify you of cancellations.
The Japan Coast Guard provides general guidance on staying safe during waterfront recreation.
