Excursion Overview
Only 15-minutes by train from the busy-by-comparison Takayama, is the slow-paced and picturesque town of Hida-Furakawa. Immerse yourself in the rural routine of this community by hopping on a bike and exploring the quaint streets and verdant fields.
Gently pedal your way along the Seto River where fisherman sit patiently, enjoy the panorama of rice fields and alpine peaks, and take stops in the small villages that are scattered across the landscape. Your guide will lead you and the group around the stunning countryside this morning, providing you with equipment and a quick safety demonstration, and will loop you back to the train station in time to return to Takayama for some lunch.

“
A highly knowledgeable and professional company that looks after you and your particular needs from beginning to end. Japan was my third trip through them and their team in the office, Fenton in particular, their local guides and their on the ground back up staff were brilliant. Faultless is the one word that springs to mind and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
