We are very happy to share this beautiful Biei with you.

We will show you this beautiful hilly terrain with some layers and the majestic Tokachidake mountain range. And this stunning hill landscape is created by local agriculture. All our bikes are YAMAHA e-bikes. This allows you to easily enjoy the hilly roads of Biei. It’s not difficult to ride that is almost same as a normal bike. Not only visiting some famous tourist spots, local guide will take you to quiet and beautiful places.

It’s not bad to see the view from car/bus but scenery from a bicycle is more fresh and impressive. Biking allows you to enjoy the scenery at a slower pace with your family or friends. Riding slowly on the bike will give us new discoveries. And bicycle can stop anytime/anywhere that a car can’t. It does not interfere with other cars or agricultural work. The breeze you can feel while cycling is very refreshing and comfortable. The smell of fields and soil. The sounds of the wind and birds singing. You can feel the nature of Hokkaido and will be at one with nature.

Safe, secure and efficient. Off course, the best scenic routes recommended by local guides. The guide will provide explanations about Hokkaido’s life, nature and Agriculture in Biei. Local guides know of some spectacular scenic spots that are not listed in guidebooks or maps. And these places are very quiet as there are always no tourists.
