Nature, food, and hot springs! Discover the charms of Japan by cycling
How about jumping on a bicycle and taking a ride in the fresh air? Cycling is a great way to get around and discover new things that can only be found in the local area. You can stop when you feel like it, visiting interesting tourist spots, tasting some delicious local food and even relaxing in a natural hot spring bath. In recent years, there has been a real increase in places where you can rent bikes, some with guided tours. Check out the examples from Hokkaido, Tottori, and Okinawa (Taketomi Island).
