Hida Satoyama Cycling offers guided cycling tours in Hida, Gifu prefecture. (Perfect day trip from Takayama!)
This tour provides travelers a rare opportunity to interact with the local culture and people living in the Japanese countryside. You will ride as a small group through the beautiful “Satoyama” landscape in the Japanese Alps, providing travelers with up close views of the rice patties, farms, and the rivers which run through the Hida region.
In the backdrop, you will see the majestic snow-capped peaks of the highest mountains of the Northern Japanese Alps. The group will stop by areas such as the local farmer’s market and water springs frequented by locals. These stop points are not on any guidebook and part of the local lifestyle. Lucky travelers may be even welcomed into a local home, some which have been standing for hundreds of years.
Various tours are available to fit the needs of travelers based on age, and fitness levels. Families with small children are also provided with children’s bicycles and/or child seats.
This full‐day program (10am – 15pm), is a combination of the traditional landscape and the countryside, including half day cycling in the morning followed by a hearty local cuisine for lunch. In the afternoon, you will participate in a guided walk in the serene town of Furukawa, known for its beautiful architecture and townscape. Tour starts and finishes at Hida Satoyama Cycling Office. Directions will be provided to you with your final documents.
