1-Day Rural E-Bike Tour in Hida
Takayama, Japan
This is a guided rural e-bike tour with lunch at the Maze Village and the Hagiwara Town in the Hida region.

On the way to the village, we have a long uphill but our e-bike helps you a lot so that you can easily enjoy seeing the nature of Hida Mountains and the super crystal Maze River. Our friendly and knowledgeable guide will take you to picturesque spots and offer you some local stories about history, culture and lifestyle.
