[Okinawa Prefecture] Higashi Village Kayaking Experience

#BeautifulSpot #Kayaking #ActivityExperience Mysterious mangrove arch with sunlight filtering through the trees✨🛶 You can experience kayaking all over Okinawa, but this time I tried it on the Gesashi River in Higashi Village. Mangrove is a general term that refers to an area where plants with aerial roots such as Brugui, Kandelia, Yaeyama Rhizome, and Mangrove False Grosbeak grow in clusters. (That's what the guide explained to me💦) To protect against repeated flooding caused by typhoons, a wide main stream has been developed. Therefore, the photo shows an old narrow waterway next to the main stream. It is said that the scenery changes depending on the height of the water surface due to the influence of the tides from the sea. The paddle is heavy, or you move forward without paddling, and it's good to go, but scary to go back, just like the lyrics of the song. 😅
