【TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Awards 2019 Winner: Top 10 Experiences in Japan】
This is a special e-bike tour held at the less travelled place in Takayama, heading for the hidden valley village to see lots of scenic views and taste the authentic Japanese cuisine made with only local produce. The tour starts from JR Hida-Hagiwara station. After some instructions, you will cycle around the historical town first. You need to go up the hill to visit the beautiful valley village but do not worry about it. E-bikes we will offer you are the special machines, very easy to use and make steep hills seem flat! At some points during the tour, you will take super nice pictures of the countryside and hear a lot of local things such as history, culture and lifestyle that you would never know without a guide. Honestly, all of our guests have been amazed at the special food experience at the local restaurant. It always looks perfect, and tastes so good since all ingredients are produced in the village as gifts of nature. Through 6h-28km leisurely e-bike tour, you will fully enjoy the rural Japan. Finally, this bike tour was posted on The Guardian as one of the best experiences in Japan!
