MODEL COURSE

Historic Castle Town Cycling

Ride through beautiful streetscapes
where 400 years of history breathe.

Built by the order of Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1609, Sasayama Castle stands as a testament to history. Its castle town strongly retains the atmosphere of those days.

We tour E-BIKEs through the samurai residence district (a national preservation district) and shopping streets lined with old folk houses. Narrow alleys and slightly distant historic sites are easily accessible by bicycle. Recommended for history lovers.
