Recommendation
\nClothing and personal belongings<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\u30af\u30fc\u30e9<\/p>\n

(1) Towel<\/span><\/h3>\n

A towel to wipe your body wet with water or sweat is essential. Prepare several absorbent towels. A sports towel or bath towel for after activities is also a good idea.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(2) Hat<\/span><\/h3>\n

A hat is a good idea. A hat will protect you in case of sudden rain. A hat with a string is recommended to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunscreen<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sunscreen is a necessity because the sun in Iriomote Island is very strong.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(4) Clothing that can get wet<\/span><\/h3>\n

Canoeing basically gets you wet, so be sure to wear a bathing suit or clothing that you don't mind getting wet.<\/span><\/p>\n
