Stand Up Paddle (SUP) in Tokyo, Japan

- My buddy Koji, a very talented guy that edits commercials for Japanese TV, also is a huge fan of stand up paddle (SUP). In this video he shows me the basics, introduces me to river activity life in Tokyo, and demonstrates how to take the rapids and actually surf on the rapids.
Mitake is a beautiful scenic spot that is not always on the tourist maps, so we can enjoy a lot of nature with not so many people around. Loved this trip and can't wait to go again soon!

Thank you for taking me on this awesome adventure Koji! I had a great time as Kojika :D Let's do it again sometime soon!
please contact us. Yacu in this video take you to the great adventure.
@@kjmrnk can’t wait to go again!
hi koji, I followed you on IG
Hi Koji! Miss you:)
You say this is hard, but I didn't see you wipe out ONCE!
Your a natural!!!
I've surfed, snowboarded and skateboarded throughout my life....but to be honest it was 2 hours of sleep and fear of cold water that kept me motivated not to fall haha
Found you on reddit, your vides are great! The editing is very good and the clips are pretty funny, especially with Koji's english.
Thanks! Im glad you found your way here from Reddit, I appreciate the nice comments 😊 Koji is definitely a funny guy
Chicken leg looks gooooood!
The river was gorgeous! the reflections of the trees and clouds in the water were just beautiful Koji is so much fun and brave, SUP on calm waters is fun! but on the rapids I would be scared 🤣
I asked Koji to join a live stream, he said forget that meet him in Mitake, then he made me try the board (I was so nervous) then he showed me an amazing time, such an awesome guy
Another well edited video with such quality and fun content! You really showcase this fascinating sport with talented and genuinely welcoming sportsman! So very cool!!
Yeah I had a blast filming this one, and learned a lot about the sport. Koji has always been a fun guy to hang out with, but this is my first time seeing him truly in his element and it was great 😊
Gorgeous place. SUP is so fun and you can really catch on to the balancing quickly. Hope you do more of it for your sake and ours!
Thank you! I can’t wait to try it again to be honest 😁
Koji is the man! Thank you for sharing this with us
Yeah he is amazing, I had so much fun learning SUP and making this vid with him!
Awesome, man! You look like you had so much fun!
I did, that was a great time :) Thanks for joining the premier!
that is so cool!!!! SUP looks so fun, but it does seem very hard, especially in the white water at the end of the video.
amazing cinematography, super well-edited video. the scenery and drone footage are absolutely gorgeous
Yeah I didn’t even try to do the white water haha I already knew it would take more time for this baby dear to make it happen 😂 thank you for the nice comment, I’m trying to get more of a feel for my editing style, and I can’t lie I felt some pressure since Koji edits commercials for a living…didn’t want to let him down 😅
@@NomadicGaijin your editing is fantastic. your B-rolls are so good, like at 5:00 you showed Mitake drone footage while Koji was talking about it
@@MrLeeSensei editing is often under appreciated by viewers as they don’t know how much time and effort it takes, but as a fellow CZcamsr you definitely have an idea and I appreciate that a lot 😄 this was the first video I could feel my editing style actually changing and I like this direction, hope I can continue to improve 😁
Great video! Koji-san seems like a great guy. SUP looks like fun. Also, I guess your new nickname is "Bambi."
haha yeah it was actually much harder than I imagined, it requires a lot of focus on balance. As the day went on I got used to it more, but my main image is the first stand up when I completely baby deered it haha
What a beautiful place!!
I absolutely loved this place, can't wait to visit again
This was a lovely video! Honestly, I had never even known there was such a unique and wonderous side to Japan's rivers and water's sports, but this was so fun yet calming. I would love more videos like these, though I am still catching up through your rad vids since Im new :P
Thank you! This is a unique video for me, but I try to find these cool things that people don’t often find in Japan. Hope to find more hidden gems like this as I travel 😊
Scary animations narrator be like 0:20
Kojika! 😂🦌
yeah I look completely like a baby dear trying to walk for the first time haha
@@NomadicGaijin Baby deer is a lot better than drowned deer, I would have gone in at least once.
I was close at least 3 times, but somehow stayed dry 😄
I wanna try!!!
That was so fun, you should try it!
Nice place you’ve visited guys! Where is it? How did you get there? I believe it is easy accessible only by car, right?
It’s an area of Tokyo called Mitake, in various spots along the Tama River and Mitake Gorge. Really loved it!
