The second most popular tour is the upstream tour. You can encounter beautiful aquatic creatures in the spring water upstream. This is a bicycle tour around rice fields, spring water points, and upstream. Please note that this tour is limited to electric three-seater bicycles, so only those who can ride a bicycle can participate. The targets are river crabs, loaches, crayfish, four types of dragonfly nymphs, mitten crabs, chichibu, minnows, moroko, and carp. (Shallow points only) Gather at the meeting point, use the toilet, and use insect repellent, then start cycling. Please wear a helmet and drive safely. This tour involves cycling around the spring water repeatedly. Since the tour is aimed at shallow waters, it is a safe point for small children, and although exploration requires a little skill, it is a tour to explore the source of the hidden area, so you can make summer memories with your family, learn about the creatures while enjoying the constant temperature spring water, which is cool in summer and warm in winter, and then go home. The appeal of this tour is that there are few invasive species. There are a lot of crayfish living in some areas, but this tour focuses on native species. We look forward to your application. What to bring: Marine shoes (from the end of March to October), swimsuit, rash guard, spats, drinks, hat, backpack, plastic case for taking home + bubble (battery-powered oxygen supply device) What to prepare on your side: Electric bicycle, helmet, rubber boots (from November to mid-March), net, storage bucket That's it.

We will provide you with an electric bicycle. You can easily ride uphill and over long distances. Our experienced guides will show you the back roads and unknown history that are unique to bicycles. ~Experience flow~ ① Meet and check in Check in at E-Charity Naha Kokusai-dori Main Store Pick up your electric bicycle and receive a brief explanation that anyone can enjoy riding safely! ② Tour starts / Shuri You can see Kannon Bodhisattva, the guardian deity of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and beautiful sculptures and decorations. The bright vermilion temple overlooks the Shuri cityscape. You will pass through the local area of ​​Naha where a few traditional houses remain. When you arrive at the temple, which has been conveying Okinawan Buddhism for over 500 years, you will be greeted by the ancient gate and a large banyan tree. It is a powerful gate that symbolizes Okinawa. You can take a photo with your bicycle in front of the gate, which has a striking vermilion color and a well-balanced design. At the temple, which is visited by many worshippers who make pilgrimages while giving thanks for this life, such as praying for health and pregnancy, you will be captivated by the beauty of the bright red daruma dolls and torii gates. After crossing the main street and passing under the monorail that runs through the air, you will suddenly arrive at a temple with a sacred atmosphere. Rebuilt after the war, a traditional Japanese Jizo statue stands next to a relatively new building with a warm atmosphere. As you enter the nostalgic road that can only be accessed by bicycle, the scent of rice malt fills the air. The tiled factory surrounded by stone walls that survived the war makes you feel as if you have traveled back in time. This miraculous spring water was discovered when waterfowl were noticed gathering there from the deep forest. You can feel the history in the water that continues to flow without stopping. ③Omoromachi This place, which became a fierce battlefield, was once a small hill from which you could see all the way to the Kerama Islands, but now it is surrounded by buildings and apartments and quietly tells the history of the war. You can feel the fusion of the past and the present. ④Asato I ride my bicycle down the hill comfortably. The place where the kings of the Ryukyu Kingdom were enshrined is filled with pure air. It is now a park, but the stone gate and the banyan tree stretching straight up into the sky give the impression that this was once a country called the Ryukyu Kingdom. ⑤ Return your bicycle and the tour ends. After that, enjoy the city of Naha on your own.

With the help of an electric assist, you can easily climb the slope, encounter a huge tree, greet the fish swimming in the clear stream, throw stones in the river, take a break on the wooden deck overlooking the valley, and buy some local sweets. This is a fulfilling tour where you can enjoy the beauty of the valley, nature, and hidden spots that you won't believe are in Tokyo, as if they were attractions. For lunch, you can enjoy a special Cuban sandwich lunch box while relaxing on an outdoor chair in the valley (canyon chairing experience) (both the chairing and lunch box are included in the price). Enjoy the luxury of sitting by the water, listening to the sound of the water, and doing nothing.

Participants must be 135cm tall or above, and can be enjoyed by friends or family. After river trekking, we will run along the river and return to the back mountain base, and the tour will end... If you wish, you can use the rental bicycle as is and move around freely, so you can split up with the guide and go further through the countryside and valley scenery, and even aim for a hot spring footbath.

This event is held throughout the year, and after observing insects in the forest (larvae from autumn to spring), parents and children will explore the creatures in the river. On the day, gather at the meeting point and rent a Panasonic electric bicycle (with front and rear child seats, 20-inch and 24-inch MTBs are available for upper elementary school students) (free of charge). Put on gloves and go through the grass and turn over stones to catch fish and crayfish. Spring water and cold water points do not move, so you can catch them with your bare hands. The main targets for capture are turtles, frogs, catfish, Japanese mitten crabs, striped shrimp, Yamato swamp shrimp, American crayfish, Ukigoi, Chichibu, loach, Moroko, Motsugo, Japanese river snail, Taiwanese clam, dragonfly nymph, and river insects. Many creatures live behind the stones and many hide underneath, so turn over lots of stones to see them. Winter observations are easier to observe. We look forward to your participation and applications. If you cancel on the day, we will reschedule free of charge. If you wish to take fish home, please bring a plastic case and bubble tea (battery-operated; only the fish need oxygen). There are many paid parking lots at the local meeting point. We will meet at the market 10 minutes before the tour starts. If you are delayed due to traffic congestion, we would appreciate it if you could consider an afternoon Seesion or change the date. Thank you in advance. What to bring: Marine shoes, change of clothes, swimsuit, spats, rash guard, drinks, rucksack, plastic case for taking fish home, bubble tea What to prepare on our side: Electric bicycle (with front and rear child seats), rain boots (from November to mid-March), net, storage bucket
