HIMEJI e-CYCLE TOURS
🚴♀️ Ride to the Sea, Slurp Like a Local
Step back in time as you cycle along the historic Shikama Kaido, a route developed during the Edo period that once connected Himeji Castle with the bustling port of Shikama.
This road was part of the famous "Silver Cart Road", used to transport silver from the Ikuno Silver Mine to the sea. Today, it still echoes with the past, offering the perfect setting for a journey full of discovery.
On this 3-hour e-bike tour, you’ll follow this storied route towards the refreshing sea breeze of Himeji Port, cruising comfortably along a cycling path built on an old railway line. Along the way, you’ll stop at local sake breweries, where you can explore the traditional brewing culture and enjoy the charm of old Japan.
This tour is ideal for history enthusiasts and casual explorers alike. It's a unique way to see a different side of Himeji!
