A great adventure on Japan’s countryside! English and Chinese speaking cycling guided tour
The Aso area in central Kyushu is a popular tourist destination where you can explore the satoyama (rural villages) and majestic grasslands where people have lived for eons.
Our guided tours are in the form of a “guided tour” where you adventure on sports bikes along roads used by local residents, led by a guide.
We will introduce carefully selected cycling courses to suit the level of each participant!
We can accommodate a wide range of needs, from relaxation to sports cycling.
The scenery is varied, with breathtaking plateaus, rural areas and bamboo forests, hot spring towns with steam rising from them and valleys, and you can spend your time feeling the stimulating and healing nature.
Highlights
Please gather at the Aso Kuju Cycle Tour Desk for a briefing and riding lesson.
Start cycling! Enjoy a pleasant ride on peaceful country roads with few cars. Enjoy a refreshing ride down vast grasslands and fields. At shrines and hot spring towns, you will feel that human history is one with nature.
After the ride, you can relax with drip coffee, marshmallow cocoa, or tea bags. The experience fee also includes sweets, so you can choose one of the homemade sweets lined up on the rack and share your memories of the day with the other members.
