Explore Nature in Yoshino with e-Bike Tour
Explore the rural charm of Yoshino, a place that not many foreigners or even many Japanese people often visit with a local guide. Enjoy nature with some easy hiking, beautiful waterfalls, and a tranquil lake.
Description: Ride e-Bikes towards Yamaguchi Shrine, where a sacred atmosphere honoring the mountain deity pervades. After biking to the trailhead, embark on a short hike along a mountain path to witness a beautiful waterfall. Once we've enjoyed the sight of the waterfall, we'll return to our E-BIKES and head towards Tsuburo Lake. Taking a moment by the lakeside, we'll pause for a serene tea time, admiring the peaceful scenery. Following that, ride along the Yoshino River, enjoying the scent of wood at the timber market, before returning to the station.
