Overview
You will meet your guide near the cruise port and take a brief shuttle to the Niyodo river mouth. While watching surfers where the river meets the sea, you will get an easy e-bike tutorial. Even for infrequent cyclists, the e-bike makes it easy to ride hilly terrain and experience Japan's landscape on this one-day trip. Time to ride! As we start, you can see Kochi’s scenery where mountains meet the sea. After a warm-up, we will arrive at Shoryu-ji Temple, tucked into the hillside of the Yokonami peninsula. Leaving the temple, we will ride through tranquil coastal villages with unique historic storehouses. Later, we will pass through an amazing bamboo forest before reaching the ferry. Onboard, you can observe the busy Kochi port and a vista of mountains surrounding this coastal city. Disembarking, we will climb to Chikurin-ji Temple. Known as one of the most beautiful temples in Kochi, its colorful exterior will captivate your senses and soothe your mind
