Tour Plan

Information

We have started accepting reservations for the 2024 season cycling tour. Wearing a bicycle helmet is now mandatory, so we recommend that you wear a helmet when riding a bicycle.

A guide who runs through the hills of Biei every day will tell you about the charms of Biei. Biei Hill has no traffic lights or buildings to mark it, and most of it is a narrow farm road with no signs. The guide will show you the scenery that cannot be reached by bus or rental car.

Good time efficiency. If you go with a guide, you won't get lost and will be more time-efficient, so you can explore the hills of Biei in a short and efficient manner.

Learn more about Biei. What is planted in this field? Where can I buy delicious food from Biei? What are the popular local cafes and restaurants? We are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Harf day tour

Through the car window, you might miss a panoramic view of Biei. Cycling through the farm fields, you will really get it. You will also embrace the voice of winds and the song of birds. A local guide takes you to secret locations to show you hidden gems in rolling hills of Biei!

Q & A

All tours are conducted on electrically assisted bicycles, so anyone can participate, whether it's been a long time since you've ridden a bicycle or if you usually ride one for shopping. One of the participants was an 80-year-old couple.

If it rains at the time of departure, cycling will be canceled. If the weather is uncertain, we will call you around 8am on the day of your trip to discuss your departure. If the cycling tour is canceled due to rain, there will be no cancellation fee.

May, June, September, and October in Biei Town can be cold, so it's a good idea to wear clothing that won't let the wind pass through, such as a windbreaker.

We have a 20-inch electrically assisted bicycle that can be ridden by adults over 135cm tall. Children who can ride the bicycle are eligible. Biei Hill has ups and downs, so participants must be at least 140cm tall and able to reach and apply the brakes on an adult bicycle.

* For details, please contact us by email or phone.

Cycling Two is covered by domestic travel accident insurance: 3 million yen for death and residual disability, 5,000 yen per day for hospitalization, 2,500 yen per day for hospital visits, and 100 million yen in liability compensation. Bicycle rental is optional for one day (300 yen).
