We had the most fantastic day out with Tomoya. He met us at the agreed location and then rode with us on the train to where he had left his car loaded up with bikes and everything else we needed for the day out. The bikes were very good quality Specialised E mountain bikes. We then rode quite a distance up into the mountains on the road to get to the Katsuo-ji temple which was lovely. We then cycled to Minoh and started the mountain bike trails. These were quite challenging and great fun! We stopped for lunch at a lovely out of the way quirky cafe that did great food and then carried on and did some more trails. Tomoya took excellent care to make sure we were safe and enjoying ourselves. This was a new activity for my wife and under Tomoya‘s guidance she really had a great day. I have done some mountain biking previously, this was really enjoyable as well as suitably challenging. The area we were in was incredibly beautiful and we really appreciated the scenery. This was our best day in Japan!
Take a day and ride to see the amazing temple and mountain bike on the best e- mountain bikes ever! This tour was super adventurous Tomoya was so kind and patient with us, helping us get more confident in trail biking as we co tibies the day. He was also super flexible in our itinerary, making the day exactly what we hoped for. Bikes are incredible and brand new with all the features. E-bike helps a lot with the uphill sections on the trail and trip to the temple. From the initial booking and excellent communication to the custom bike setup to all the gear and a super fun day this tour was an experience to remember!
