Kozagawa Town is dotted with countless geosites such as insect-eating rocks, monoliths, and waterfall worship, and is located in Oku-Kumano, where untouched nature remains, such as Kumanozakura and Kozagawa, which has outstanding transparency. There is a trekking plan to introduce the 3 best waterfalls in Kozagawa Town and climb the rock surface. In addition, there are no traffic lights in the town, and the climate is cool in the summer and warm in the winter, making it a perfect place to enjoy cycling. There are 3 types of bicycles that can be rented (E-bike, cross-bike, mountain bike). Try attacking mountain routes with an E-bike (electrically assisted bicycle), ride a cross bike to see Kumanozakura in the fall, and try a rough road with a mountain bike. There is no doubt that you can enjoy it! Please come and enjoy a little bicycle trip in Kozagawa-cho, which is not affected by the weather other than rain.
