Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming two wonderful guests from California for an e-Bike tour along the historic Gin no Bashamichi and Shikama Kaidō, all the way to the sea.

The weather was perfect—sunny with a light breeze—though a little warm, it made for a beautiful day to explore by bike. Along the way, we stopped at local temples and shrines, taking breaks to soak in the peaceful atmosphere and Japanese culture.

Our two guests were incredibly kind and full of good energy, making the ride all the more enjoyable. It was truly a relaxing and heartwarming experience cycling together.

On the way back, we rode along a path that used to be an old railway line. We stopped by a traditional sake brewery, where our guests did a bit of shopping and enjoyed some refreshing drinks and ice cream 🍦—a perfect treat after a fun ride.

To finish off the tour, we took on a gentle uphill section where our guests got to fully experience the power of their sports e-Bikes. It was great to see how easily the bikes handled the climb, even for first-time riders!

All in all, it was a fantastic day filled with smiles, scenic beauty, and cultural discoveries. A big thank you to our lovely guests from California for joining us—we hope this ride becomes one of your favorite memories from Japan!
