Plan attractions
With a guide from an apple farmer, you can experience apple cultivation scenes that you would pass by without paying attention. The entire trip takes about 4 hours. The elevation difference over the 35km circular course is a whopping 679m! Taking full advantage of the river terrace terrain surrounded by two alpine peaks, you can enjoy views of the alps in the distance and cross bridges over the river. You can enjoy the varied scenery and roads while riding.
A spectacular and highly-recommended course carefully selected by a cycling-loving apple farmer With safety as a top priority, we chose roads that are "fun and pleasant to ride on," and created a course that fits the concept of allowing you to see apples growing. The course is packed with "exciting points" that only bicycle enthusiasts can understand, such as railroad crossings that cars cannot cross, and roads without intersections that allow you to ride without stopping.
See, touch and learn a lot about the world of apple cultivation in Ina Valley As the tour title "How Delicious Apples are Made" suggests, this tour will include plenty of time to drive through the scenery of apple orchards and to stop by and talk to producers.
Stop by recommended cafes and shops and enjoy delicious apple sweets At the popular Nakagawa Village shop "Kurashi no Kobo Koneri," you can take a break with apple bread and a refreshing drink made with grated apple and ginger. At the roadside station "Hana no Sato Iijima," you can enjoy the local food of Ina Valley, Gohei mochi, as well as freshly baked, crispy apple pie.
