On this guided E-bike tour, you’ll cycle through Yuki’s majestic landscape, ride along the pristine Minochi River (水内川)—one of Hiroshima’s clearest streams—and take a refreshing tea break in the serene Ishigatani Gorge(石ヶ谷峡), a spot cherished by locals since the 1600s.

I’m so glad I had the opportunity to join this incredibly fascinating tour. I learned that Hiroshima Prefecture is not just about the atomic bomb history—it’s also rich in nature and has a truly unique local culture. The thrill of cycling through the beautiful landscapes was amazing. Being able to enjoy locally sourced food in nature was a rare and valuable experience. What surprised me the most was having a local chef prepare the food right in front of us—it was such an unexpected and fun addition to the tour! And the tour guide, Yuta, is a true local who actually lives in the area. He was very friendly, considerate, and knowledgeable, making the experience even more enjoyable. Thanks to him, I completely fell in love with Yuki Town. I definitely want to visit again!
Hi! Thank you so much for coming to this Inaka tour this time! I hope you had a great time in this rural countryside of Hiroshima, and enjoyed the beautiful nature with a nice e-bike! We have lots of wonderful places where even the locals don't know, so it was such a pleasure to invite you our secret place!! Please have a wonderful day in Japan and come to this Yuki town again anytime:)
Cycling through the woods, picking Kumasasa and making tea, and enjoying meditation on the rocks of the river, it was truly a luxurious moment that blended in with nature. Lunch was also very good! In particular, my guide Yuta showed me the history of Yuki town with fun and interest. I'm very happy to have had such a valuable experience that I can't experience in my daily life! I'd love to participate again.
この度はツアーに参加していただきありがとうございました！ 広島から1時間の距離で自然を堪能できる湯来町には美味しい食べ物や見どころ満載のスポットが数多く存在しています。 少し市内からだと時間がかかるかもしれませんが、バスが走っているのと、道中の田舎の風景も満喫できるかと思います！ 湯来温泉も湯質がとてもよく、体の疲れを癒してくれること間違いなしだと思います。 またぜひいつでも湯来町に遊びに来てください！
