Iya Valley BROMPTON Slow Cycling Tour

$169.30
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

In principle, reservations are for two persons or more.

This tour lets you experience the beauty of the hidden Iya Valley at first hand through the magic of the BROMPTON bicycle.

After meeting in Awa-Ikeda, take the train to Oboke Station. While waiting for the bus at Oboke Station, check out the interesting shops. Then take a bus to the Iya Valley vine bridge. Near the vine bridge, you can see the beautiful Biwa Waterfall and go down to the Iya River.

From there, ride on the old road along the valley beside the emerald green Iya River. The beauty and grandeur of the ever-changing valley makes you forget your everyday life. Points of interest include the Hi no Ji Bend, and the Peeing Boy standing on a 200 m-high precipice. The Iya Valley road runs gently downhill for most of the way, so no special physical prowess is required. The rest area has a fine view, perfect for Instagram.

Enjoy the charm of the Iya Valley which can’t be experienced fully by car.
