Miyagawa E-bike Tour at the Fountainhead of Takayama
Set forth on a thrilling e-bike adventure highlighting the very best of North Gifu's nature and tradition. Race towards the headwaters of the Miyagawa River and discover not only this fountainhead of Takayama, but also the regional way of life that preserves it. Cycle through endless panoramas of rural landscapes in Hida, with local trains running by the Japanese satoyama (areas where foothills and farmlands overlap), unchanged from its past. Look forward to cycling through rows of cherry trees decked out in vibrant pink blossoms in spring, lush greenery and swimming through crystal clear waters in summer, vivid leaves of red and gold in autumn - there's so much natural beauty to take in no matter the season. Savor local sweets and tea over a break along the way. Exclusive to this course - enjoy a delicious lunch of homemade soba (buckwheat noodles) at a local restaurant with a picturesque garden.
