Beautiful Nantan Cycling Adventure - I went with my wife, sister-in-law and friend. It was a wonderful ride around Nantan, which included a beautiful lunch too. The guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I recommend you try this adventure to see the true Japanese countryside.

An Absolutely Worthwhile Cycling Adventure - This was my first bike tour ever which was also in Japan, and also my first time exploring the Japanese countryside. I took the option of doing the Mount Mario Exploration, which is a worth while small hike through the forest on Mt. Komugi, to see one of the caves Shigeru Miyamoto used as inspiration for the Zelda dungeon. My guide Maki was very pleasant and understanding. For lunch I chose "Course B", which was the local produce being served at a traditional Japanese House turned restaurant. I definitely recommend this bike tour for anyone staying in the Kyoto area and exploring the picturesque countryside.

Very Recommended! - I was feeling amazing with the tour! I went with my other 3 friends and the guide was very excited to accompany us! We went on 6 hours tour, with lots of activities. Cycling, going to make soba, eating lunch, going to an old Japanese restaurant and eating a very delicious strawberry sundae, and lastly wearing Kimono! My friends and I enjoyed the whole trip and a really good experience. It is very recommended! 素晴らしいツアーでした!友人3人と一緒に参加し、ガイドさんもとても楽しそうに案内してくれました。6時間のツアーで、サイクリングやそば打ち体験、美味しいランチを食べたり、古い日本料理店でとても美味しい苺サンデーを食べたり、最後に着物を着たりと、たくさんのアクティビティを楽しみました。友人たちと私はこの旅行を満喫し、本当に素晴らしい経験ができました。とてもおすすめです!

Delicious soba! - My family and I participated in the soba noodle cooking. The instructors were very kind, and at the end we were able to eat delicious soba! The buckwheat flour was organic and harvested in the field nearby. Kids were so impressed that they could make soba noodles by themselves. Thank you for organizing such a wonderful event.
