This is a special plan with limited quantities for 2025, and is a small group tour limited to 3 to 5 people! Are you thinking about planning a bike ride on your precious day off, as it may tire you out? If you are worried that mountain biking is not for you, or that you are not physically fit, then this special experience plan is recommended! Unlike regular tours, there is no climbing. (You just go down) As you can see in the picture, you will just ride down a mountain bike through a "real forest" that you cannot experience on other tours, so even those who are not physically fit can feel at ease! ♪ 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 (1 hour and 30 minutes if you proceed very smoothly, and 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes if you ride slowly and leisurely). Moreover, rental equipment is free, so you can experience MTB empty-handed! Also, this plan is a fully private reservation. A private tour at this price at this time of year is a bargain, so we are offering it as a test special plan for this year only, with a limited number of people. Unlike other tours, you will not be sharing 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 accustomed to riding. For this plan, rentals start from 26-inch XS size. (Anyone who is about 140cm tall can ride, and even 135cm tall can ride 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 apply the brakes by holding the brake levers with your hands" 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 ^^
