We travel the coasts of the ocean country Japan, under our own power, by sea kayak. Sea kayaks have the power to instantly connect us visitors from the sea with those who spend their daily lives with nature. What we learn from fishermen, who live by the sea, we pass on to others, and while weaving the connections with nature that people should have, we create values that will lead us into the future.As we aim at developing the youth on which our sustainable society depends as well as promoting the revival and restoration of our coasts, the 2015 Sea Pilgrimage sets sail for the Ariake Sea.
