This e-bike (electrically assisted sports bicycle) cycling tour takes you through Nikko’s hidden gems, not listed in guidebooks, as you experience the changing seasons on both on- and off-road routes.
You will cycle through the hustle and bustle of Nikko’s streets, feeling the mountain breeze and the murmuring of the river as you go. A more active off-road ride along the Daiya River will reveal the Nikko Cedar Avenue, an ancient road lined with cedar trees over 300 years old. This ancient road, deeply rooted in this land and witnessing the passage of time since the Edo period, is sure to speak to us.
It’s also relaxing to stop by the clear stream, lie down in the fields, and gaze up at the sky.
In addition to the historic buildings, be sure to take in the surrounding nature. Relaxing and taking photos of the majestic Nikko mountain range and the trees that change color with the seasons is one of the highlights of this tour.
