Overview

Starting at the Hida-Hagiwara station, we will directly head for a cluster of ten small Maze Riverside hamlets, each with a population of approximately 50 to 300 people, together collectively known as the “Maze Village”, which are regarded as some of the most beautiful authentic set of rural villages in Japan. Because it has no businesses specifically catering to tourists, the area is largely unknown and overlooked in the main guidebooks, though it’s close to the tourist towns like Takayama or Gero. Same as the full day tour, we need to go up the mountain road but please do not worry. We use Panasonic’s cool electric bikes. If you are capable of a normal bike, it is also easy to handle this e-bike. Getting away from tourist crowds, you will fully enjoy the authentic countryside of Japan in this private e-bike tour. If you visit Hida Takayama area to see the beauty of nature in the rural Japan, this tour must be the best option for you.

Dai was a great quide - it was wonderful to get out into the countryside and explore an area of Japan that others may not venture to. We would definitely recomment this experience to others.

A highlight of our trip! Really wonderful contrast to Tokyo and the cities.

Published on Oct, 2024

We were a family of four, including two teenage boys, and the family consensus was that this a highlight of our Japan trip. The short trip from Takayama on the train was easy and scenic, and Dai met us at the station. We hadn’t ridden e-bikes before but they were no problem, and made getting up the hills a breeze. Dai was a wonderful guide and was happy to share his experiences and insights into Japanese life and culture. We really enjoyed his company and riding through the beautiful hamlets. Highly recommended.

Amazing

Published on Aug, 2024

Dai was amazing! He was so easy to talk to and get along with - it felt like going for a bike ride with a friend. We learned a lot about the area and Japanese culture in general. The route was also well thought out. Although it was a very hot day, the cycling wasn't too difficult due to the e-bikes. We would happily do this again if we ever came back.
