Waterways and boarding points
We check waterway rules with local managers and plan boarding points and activity areas around other boats and users.
HOME / SAFETY
WATERFRONT EXPERIENCE & DESIGN
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
We check waterway rules with local managers and plan boarding points and activity areas around other boats and users.
We’re reviewing equipment for each waterway, pre-departure checks, life jacket sizing and how staff will check that jackets fit.
We’re reviewing when to proceed or cancel based on local wind, waves, currents and visibility.
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
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.
