• Aren't you tired of running into many tourist traps in absolutely crowded cities? You don't have to waste your time in a busy place. Instead, you can upgrade your mediocre plan with our help! We have a bike tour in Hikone, small and pretty castle town by Lake Biwa. It is quick travel from Kyoto and Osaka!! Very niche place but fun to explore. Let me introduce Hikone to you!!
• This town is known for Hikone castle, a national treasure. In Japan, only three original castle survived after Samurai's era. Beautiful moat is double layer. We will cycle through these narrow paths with cross/electronic bike to the coast opened onto the great view of Lake Biwa. On our tour, it includes a variety of stops & activities, such as castle climbing, tea-blending experience, Genkyu-en (magnificent Japanese garden where they serve you matcha), local breweries' sake-tasting set and Ohmi-gyu restaurant for lunch.
• -Pickup fee is included in the price.

Hikone castle looks down the whole town from the east end, having beautiful moats around. Many unique water birds and plants are peacefully hanging out. As it is an old district and the center of the culture, residential and commercial area are situated along the moat, such as artcraft shop, pickle stand and temples. We will cycle through these parts in the beginning to understand the castle town vibe.
