Himuka Inspirational Experience World, commonly known as "Nove☆Star," is an NPO that brings together specialists who can guide visitors to truly inspiring experiences in a variety of fields, taking advantage of the outstanding potential of Kyushu's number one mountains, rivers, and sea in Nobeoka City.
In addition to providing information on authentic outdoor experiences, we also offer a variety of programs to increase interest in the natural environment and outdoor experiences.
[Commonly known as "Nove☆Star"]
The name "Nove☆Star" comes from the fact that Nobeoka's star guides, who belong to the NPO Himuka Moving Experience World, guide visitors in the Nobeoka style.
It was established to organize programs, introduce guides, promote cooperation between guides, and promote information exchange and interaction, as well as to create rules and engage in conservation activities to protect experience fields, and to develop stay-based and destination-based tourism.
In case of an emergency, an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is brought to each experience site, and while sufficient safety precautions are taken, guides are required to take a first aid course.
[Leave everything to the secretariat]
Novel☆Star will provide the necessary equipment for each program, such as helmets and life jackets. (Swimsuits and bath towels must be brought by the participant.)
Specialist staff will be available to answer any questions you may have about participating in the program or the details. In addition, it is possible to combine and arrange the various programs, making it suitable not only as a learning opportunity for children, but also for corporate and organizational training.
[Example of experience program]
・Beach snorkeling experience (for ages 6 and up)
This program allows you to easily interact with colorful soft corals, table corals, and tropical fish in the clear, calm waters of Uragi Bay, where you can almost reach out and touch them.Even first-timers and children can participate with peace of mind.
・River trekking at the source of nature (for elementary school students and up)
This is an adventure-like program where you walk through a river interwoven with huge rocks and crystal clear water, sometimes swimming and going against the current to reach the upper reaches. You can experience the mysterious clear stream, which changes color from cobalt blue to emerald green depending on the light.
・Footpath (for elementary school students and up)
This program allows you to experience the unique charms of the region while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery and townscapes of the past. There are six special courses set up within Nobeoka City.
