Adventure with a guide into the normally off-limits grasslands! A luxurious private guided tour for one group per day

Recommended for those who want to do an activity with their family or in a group. This tour is an adventure ride through the normally inaccessible grasslands of Aso on the thick tires of MTBs. The course, which is a mix of ups and downs, is the perfect place to experience E-MTB (electrically assisted mountain bike).

We set up tents in the grassland as our base of operations. Aso’s nature can sometimes bring strong winds, but we use large tarps to set up our tents safely and securely so that we can stay safely in the grasslands of Aso.

*Tents can only be set up for one private day.

Highlights

Please gather at the Aso Kuju Cycle Tour Desk for a briefing and riding lesson.

We cycle to the grassland and start our MTB ride. Of course, e-MTB, you should feel the power and the nature of Aso!

A special space just for us to relax in. A special space where we can enjoy a meal, drink coffee, or just rest and relax.
