Relax and float on the water of Nakanoshima
Suijo Sanpo (stroll on the water) is a sport with a new sensation which is growing in popularity

A fresh sensation as if immersed in nature in the middle of the city when you do Suijo Sanpo.
Looking at retro buildings on Nakanoshima waterfront, or going under bridges… a great chance to look at the city from a different viewpoint.
You operate a paddleboard to go forward in the open air. Paddleboards are a new feature of Nakanoshima with a different appeal from cruise vessels.

>>Do not miss!

Suijo Sanpo can be enjoyed at any time, in the morning in the fresh and cool breeze, during the day looking at the water with the sunshine reflecting off it, and at night showing a different charming face from the daytime when the lights go on…. all full of fascination.

Water sport beginners welcome!

The paddleboard is easy to learn for all ages even if you have never experienced water sports such as canoeing or kayaking. You stand up on an approx. 3m long board and operate it with a paddle.
Though it is called sport, it is not strenuous. You can proceed at your own pace to enjoy the scenery around you or just let the gentle current carry you along.

Mr. Takashi Okutani, the president of Aqua Studio, introduced this resort-like sport to Nakanoshima waterfront. “I thought an interesting sport would win the heart of Osaka.” A lot of participants are becoming hooked…. “I almost forget I am in Osaka!”, “Concentrate on paddling and forget everything else-- it is good for stress relief!” etc. The number of repeat customers and participants from Kanto are increasing. No special skill or equipment is required, which adds to its charm.

The target for making a circuit of the course

First put on a comfortable outfit. Learn how to handle the board and hold the paddle and deal with any difficulties, and then you can go on the water.
Aqua Studio provides one instructor per three participants for safety. Don’t worry if you fall into the river. It is all part of the experience. Beginners make round trips between Nakanoshima and the Temma Bridge area. A lot of people are overly nervous on their first attempt, but they soon get the hang of it and make a great improvement the second time.
Doing Suijo Sanpo three times makes you eligible for the “adventure journey” going around the 11km long Aqua Metropolis Osaka Water Corridor! Amuse yourself with the scenery and your skin will feel the current change depending on the day and time. Enjoy strolling on the Osaka water at your leisure.
