A plan to support active people who want to make the most of their short break! This is a mini-experience tour where you can ride a mountain bike through a real forest during a light running time before breakfast. It takes less than an hour from meeting to disbanding (※It may vary slightly depending on the environment on the day, but please assume it will take about 45 to 50 minutes). There is no climbing, only descending, so even those who are not physically fit can feel at ease! It is possible to experience mountain biking easily. If you can ride a bike and have a little courage, you can participate empty-handed (all rental equipment is included in the price) (Note) You can easily participate empty-handed, but since you will be riding a mountain bike through real nature, your clothes and shoes may get a little dirty depending on the weather and other conditions, so it is better to be wild and not worry about that, or bring a change of clothes.

This is a special short tour for small groups, limited to a maximum of 5 people, and only available in the afternoons during certain periods! Since the number of participants is small, the guide can keep a close eye on everyone, so this plan is recommended for those who are trying mountain biking in the mountains for the first time, those who have no experience, or those who are enjoying it as a family, and those who have beginners. In addition, the tour is set at a convenient time, such as before or after checking in at the hotel, or before dinner. Unlike regular tours, the tour does not involve climbing hills! (Basically, it is only downhill.) You just go down a mountain bike in a pleasant forest like a walk, so even those who are not physically fit can feel at ease. Moreover, it takes less than 1.5 hours from the time of meeting to the time of returning. The time includes a simple explanation of how to ride and preparations before departure, so the actual riding time is just under an hour. (It may seem short, but you will be riding in a real forest with a sense of the extraordinary, so I think it will probably be a memorable mountain biking experience.) What's more, the rental is free! So you can experience MTB empty-handed! *Please note* Regardless of age, if you are under 140cm tall, you must be accustomed to riding a bicycle. As stated in the precautions for participation, those who cannot ride a bicycle normally cannot participate. Rental bicycles start from 26 inches (XS size). (Recommended for people over 140cm tall. If you are accustomed to riding bicycles, people up to 135cm tall can ride, but please note that it may be dangerous if you are not accustomed to riding.) If you can only ride a bicycle under 24 inches, you can only participate in the tour if you bring a bicycle that you are accustomed to riding.

This is a limited-time special plan for 2024, and is a small-group tour limited to a maximum of 5 people! Aren't you worried about planning an outdoor activity that might tire you out on your precious day off? If you are worried that mountain biking is not for you, or that cycling is not physically viable, we recommend this special experience plan! Unlike regular tours, there is no climbing. (You just go down) As you can see in the picture, you will be riding a mountain bike through a "real forest" that you can't experience on other tours, so even those who are not physically fit can rest assured. The time includes a simple explanation of how to ride and preparations before departure, so the actual riding time is about 1 hour from the time of gathering to the time of returning, and it will be completed within 2 hours (if everything goes smoothly, it will be about 1 hour and 45 minutes). Moreover, the rental set is free, so you can experience MTB empty-handed! Also, this plan is a fully private reservation. This is a special plan for this year only, with limited numbers and numbers, because this tour is a bargain at this time of year. Unlike other tours, you will not be joining with other customers, so you can enjoy it at your own pace! *Please note* (If a child under 140cm tall is participating, we do not have a bicycle that is suitable for the course, so you will need to bring a bicycle that you are used to riding. For this plan, rentals start from XS size 26 inches. (Anyone with a height of about 140cm can ride it, and even people around 135cm can ride it if they are used to riding bicycles.) *There are no rental bicycles under 26 inches. This is because it is difficult to ride a bicycle with small tires in a real forest. *In addition, "being able to stand on the pedals" and "being able to brake by holding the brake lever with your hand" are also guidelines for participating in the tour safely. However, even if you do not meet these conditions, if you are interested in participating, please feel free to contact us! We will consult with you as much as possible! If you have the desire, we can do something! Maybe?! Maybe^^
