Plan description

This is a guided cycling tour around the area around Omi Ohashi Bridge and Seta River. A local guide will show you the sights that can only be seen by cycling. Please make your mind and body well by cycling around Lake Biwa. Rental bicycles and helmets are included. Please join us empty-handed. This course is centered around the flat and easy-to-ride areas in the southernmost part of Lake Biwa, and is enjoyable even for beginners. This tour is guided cycling, so you can easily experience a tour led by a cycling guide. We will introduce the attractive and slightly maniacal spots scattered around the course with explanations from the guide. Main stopover spots: Omi Ohashi Bridge, Sunshine Beach, Zeze Castle Ruins Park, Seta Karahashi Bridge, Takebe Taisha Shrine, Biwako Culture Park Morning session 9:00, afternoon session 13:00 Target age 12 years old and over (height 145 cm or more) Applications can be made from one person, but the tour will be conducted with two people or more. If there are less than two people, the tour will not be conducted. If the number of people in your reservation is less than two even after your reservation is confirmed, your reservation will be canceled and you will not be able to participate in the tour. Please note that your reservation may be canceled after it has been confirmed. If the tour is canceled (your reservation is canceled), your reservation will be canceled by 6:00 p.m. the day before.

・The bicycles used on the tour are 20-inch electric-assist bicycles that are easy for women and beginners to ride. They have powerful assistance so you can ride safely even on hills. ・Our guide staff will give you a thorough lecture before you start. ・You can enjoy cycling with peace of mind thanks to the guidance of our guide and an appropriate course design. ・We will take you to scenery that you won't find in tourist information, and that only a local guide can know. ・You can store any luggage you don't need for cycling in the store, so it's easy.
