Hiroshima Country Cycling: Udforsk landdistrikterne med E-Bike
Beskrivelse
Gå ind i en roligere side af Hiroshima, hvor naturskønne landskaber, traditionelle landsbyer og dagligdagen udfolder sig ud over byen. Denne lille gruppe e-cykel tur tilbyder en afslappet måde at udforske landlige Japan i dit eget tempo, langt fra de sædvanlige turistruter. Hver tur er formet rundt om dagen, med fleksibiliteten til at nyde landskabet på forskellige måder - uanset om det er en fredelig tur gennem landskabet, et besøg i en lokal urtehave til frokost eller en hands-on sushi-fremstillingserfaring. Undervejs kan der også være muligheder for at forbinde med lokale beboere, hvilket tilføjer en personlig touch til din tid i regionen.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vores elektriske cykler tilbyder en ubesværet måde at køre op ad stejle bakker, hvilket giver en unik og fornøjelig oplevelse for vores gæster. Selv dem, der aldrig har kørt på en Ebike før, vil blive overrasket over dens kraft og stabilitet. Når de først er på toppen, kan besøgende nyde en betagende panoramaudsigt over byen Oasa og det omkringliggende landskab, som er særligt imponerende på grund af det bjergrige terræn. På trods af dens fantastiske natur bliver dette sted sjældent besøgt af de lokale. En af grundene til, at denne tur er så speciel, er, at der ikke kommer mange mennesker til denne side. Vores gæster har dog rost denne maleriske beliggenhed for dens skønhed og unikke karakter.
Dette område er hjemsted for et malerisk landbrugssamfund, der har bevaret sit traditionelle udseende fra fortiden. Samfundet består af maleriske huse, talrige rismarker, vandløb, der vrimler med dyreliv og skjulte perler, som turister sjældent får at se. At cykle rundt i samfundet er sjovt i sig selv, men vi kan også stoppe på visse steder for at fordybe os i japansk kultur, hvilket gør rejsen endnu mere speciel ved at lære om de lokales liv, som er centreret omkring landbrug.
Som en del af vores rejse stopper vi til frokost i Aino Sato Herb Garden. Denne restaurant serverer en række friske og lokalt dyrkede grøntsager og spiselige blomster, der er helt fri for skadelige pesticider. Du vil blive glædeligt overrasket over, hvor lækkert disse naturlige fødevarer smager. Restauranten er også forpligtet til kun at bruge naturlige ingredienser og undgå brugen af tilsætningsstoffer i deres retter. Der er også en veganervenlig menu tilgængelig på anmodning med forudgående varsel. Efter vores måltid kan vi tage en afslappet spadseretur gennem deres have for at værdsætte skønheden i de blomster, urter og grøntsager, der dyrkes der.
Oasas hovedgade, der engang var et travlt knudepunkt for mennesker og butikker, er nu stille og roligt. De gamle bygninger, der er tilbage, er et vidnesbyrd om byens tidligere velstand. På trods af dette er der stadig en håndfuld butikker på gaden, der imødekommer behovene hos folk både i og uden for Oasa. Det ville være fascinerende at udforske disse virksomheder og måske mødes og interagere med deres ejere. At lære om deres passioner og ambitioner kan have en positiv indvirkning på dit liv.

What a fantastic day, cold and rainy outside but so warm on the inside thanks to Jonah, Maru and the fabulous people we met! Don’t hesitate to book the extra hour, it’s so worth the money 🤩
Thank you so much for joining us. Despite the cold rain, we were truly blessed to have you in our community. Thank you also for your kind words about the tour. We wish you all the best and hope to see you again someday.
Great way to experience rural Japan. We found it very relaxing, away from the hustle and bustle of the major cities. Jonah was very open to our many questions as he loved to share his beautiful community with us. We highly recommend this gentle ride in the country.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m really glad you were able to enjoy a quieter side of Japan. It was a pleasure meeting you and spending the day together, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to visit our community. Thank you as well for your recommendation—it means a lot. Wishing you many more wonderful travels ahead!
What a wonderful fun, nature filled , Japan rich experience. We saw rural and real Japan out of the big cities and towns which I was desperate for and I wasn’t disappointed. Our guide Jonah was fabulous and speaks excellent English. He went the extra mile and came and picked us up from the port . The highlight apart from the amazing scenery and great company was lunch. What an absolute gem. All freshly grown and to eat a slice of mushroom that takes two years to grow felt like a huge indulgence and privilidge. Thank you so much Jonah.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I had a great time too, and I felt like I was spending time with old friends from start to finish. It was a real privilege to guide you through the Oasa community and share those small encounters along the way. I’ll certainly let the chef know how much you enjoyed lunch. Thank you again, and I hope the rest of your trip is filled with meaningful moments and joy.
Wow what a great experience we had with Jonah. We rode around the farmland and township of Oaso. Jonah was very knowledgeable about the town and local area. We met a 93 year old farmer who was so friendly and chatted with us about his life and experiences. We also had a lesson in making sushi. Our teacher was amazing and the meal was fabulous. A real highlight. Jonah’s instructions regarding getting the bus to the township were exact. The hour bus ride was enjoyable and allowed us to view the landscape of forests, small villages and farmlands. The bikes were electric so peddling was easy. The weather wasn’t great but didn’t diminish the experience. Highly recommend this experience.
I had a great time with you, too! Thank you so much for joining the tour. I'm glad to hear that you liked the sushi and the other activities and people on the tour. I hope the rest of your trip is pleasant and fun. Cheers from Oasa!
We had the best time with Jonah on this bike tour in Kita-Hiroshima. Our 84 yr old father was with us and unable to ride so Jonah set up for him to ride in a car and meet us at stopping points. Turns out the driver was the owner of the company! Even though he only spoke Japanese, our dad loved spending the day with Takahiro. We also did a sushi making lunch with another of their employees named Fuji-san and she was just as great. Lastly Jonah took us to a sake brewery where we got to meet the town brew master and taste some great water and sake. The whole day was amazing and such a cool experience. Our 2 teenagers (14 and 16) said it was the highlight of our entire Japan trip! Jonahs kindness, communication, and accommodations were greatly appreciated. It was a quick and easy bus ride out with great scenery of the countryside. We will definitely recommend this to everyone heading to Hiroshima.
Thank you very much for your kind review! It was a privilege for us all to guide you and interact with you. My boss said repeatedly that he wished he could communicate better in English. He loved his time with your father so much! We were all happy to meet you on our tour. Hearing that our tour was the highlight of your trip means more than anything. Thank you again for a wonderful time!
Contrary to "city stress", I was able to switch off a bit in the beautiful landscape of 大朝 (Oasa). Also the food in the herb garden was excellent! In addition, I can recommend everyone in the area to take time for the Chinese Tea House. The tour is well structured with certain individualization options. Travelling by bus also worked without any problems and can be paid for directly with the IC card. Will definitely come back!
I'm truly flattered by your kind review in German. I needed it translated into English, and thankfully, that wasn’t a problem with ChatGPT. The tour felt like riding alongside an old friend—I enjoyed it so much, and I hope you did too. Thank you for your lovely compliment about the teahouse; I’ll be sure to pass it on to the owner. Wishing you all the very best for the rest of your journey, and I hope we’ll meet again someday. Please do keep in touch!
By JR Chugoku Bus (comfortable bus; free for JR Pass holders) it takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Hiroshima Station to get to the meeting point. During the bus ride you can enjoy nature away from the city of Hiroshima. Arriving at the meeting point, you are already expected by the guide Jonah. Jonah speaks very good English and is extremely friendly and accommodating! The e-bikes are then issued and instructed. I don't want to reveal the exact content of the tour here but it's worth it! You can explore the surrounding area in a small group of relaxed whites and get an insight into rural Japanese life and agriculture. All questions about land and people are answered willingly and comprehensively by Jonah. Initially we were skeptical, but can highly recommend the tour and would do it again at any time. Perfect for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the cities for a day.
Thank you so much once again for joining our tour, and for taking the time to leave such a kind review—whether we deserve it or not, I truly appreciate it. I’m glad we could play a small part in making your visit to Japan more memorable. Your presence on the tour meant a lot to us, and we won’t forget it. Wishing you all the best in everything ahead—and don’t forget about us!
I went on a tour in Japanese! If you are visiting Hiroshima, we would like you to extend your trip a little and participate. What impressed me was the view point overlooking the town and the pleasant cycling. I fell in love with this town because I saw the story of the town connected with it.^^ I'd love to join another season! Yona and Tagawa's guide was also Good!!
レビューをいただき、ありがとうございます！大朝自慢のビューポイントとサイクリングを楽しんでいただけたとのこと、とても嬉しいです。また、町のストーリーを感じ取っていただけたことに感動しています。さらに別の季節にもお越しいただけるとのこと、心よりお待ちしております！ 次回も全力でお迎えします！
I highly recommend this bicycling tour. It was definitely the highlight of our trip! The town we rode through is absolutely beautiful, and Jonah was an excellent guide. His English is perfect, and we learned so much from him. He gave information and told stories about the different places and landmarks along the way, and it was a great way to learn more about Japanese culture outside the touristy areas. We met several people from the community along the tour, and they were all so interesting and fun to get to know. The lunch in the middle was amazing as well! The chef put so much love into her food, and she was able to accommodate my food allergies. It was the best meal we had in Japan! Thanks so much, Jonah, for an amazing day!
Thank you so much for your kind review! It was a pleasure meeting you both, and I was honored to show you around our town. I’m glad you enjoyed the tour. I still think of you, and I hope the rest of your time in Hiroshima was enjoyable. P.S. The postcards should be on their way.
Great time with Jonah, (he's actually Japanese!) who speaks perfect English. e-bikes were adequate for getting up the big hills. Great scenery and lucky enough to meet some of the residents and businesses in Oasa. Lunch was one the highlights. Next time we will visit in the fall when we can see some color. It would be amazing. Their shuttle van came and got us at the bus top from Hiroshima and took us directly to the bike shop. Bikes were easy to operate. Hardly any cars around so navigating the streets was safe. There were multiple outings we could have done, and Jonah noted, after describing all of the things you can see, that we could alter our tour to see something else if we wanted. Would recommend this biking tour of Oasa and the surrounding area. It was also nice to be able to support local operators who personally have a stake in the business.
Thank you so much for your kind review! It was such a pleasure to meet you all, and I thoroughly enjoyed your company. Learning about your heritage and its connection to Japanese culture was an intriguing experience for me. I remember a lot about our time together. I sincerely hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
