This [Full-Day Enjoyment Course] is a cycling tour that takes you down the 25km stretch from Mino Shiratori Station on the Nagaragawa Railway, famous for its beautiful train window views, to Gujo Hachiman Station, with a guide, while enjoying the majestic flow of the clear Nagaragawa River. First, take your bike on the train and enjoy the train ride. The idyllic scenery from the train window will soothe you! When you were a child, did you ever go on an adventure, thinking about going as far as you could by bicycle? Return to that childhood and ride your bike leisurely along country roads. Since you ride along the river, it's basically a downhill road. It's a good workout. Stop at Shiratori Shrine to pray for a safe journey, stop at a roadside station, and have a barbecue with all the participants right next to the river for lunch! Stop at a hot spring to soak your feet in a foot bath as you cycle down the 25km stretch to Gujo Hachiman! Get away from the city and enjoy the sounds of the river, birds chirping, and insects in the great outdoors to refresh your mind!
