On August 21, we held a staff training session to improve our tours at Lake Nojiri in Nagano prefecture.
We focused primarily on self-rescue (getting back into the kayak on our own if we fall into water) and more importantly practiced how to help guests who might accidentally fall overboard back into the kayak.
On the day of the training, torrential rain poured down and thunder rumbled from time to time. We almost considered canceling the training but after waiting an hour and half, the rain miraculously stopped and the sun came out!
We were then able to conduct a very productive training session.
