Activity Information

Stand-up Paddling (SUP) also locally referred to as “Water surface strolling” is a popular activity that offers you a chance to enjoy the stunning view of Osaka from a rather unique angle. Most people associate SUPs with the seaside, however river SUPs are just as an excellent activity as the sea version.
