Along the way, we had a quiz game that made the tour very enjoyable. Our guide, Hiro-san, was incredibly polite and fun. I would love to participate in another new tour of Hiro-san next time.A wonderful trip. The ride was not difficult at all and I got to see parts of Azumino that I hadn't been to before.

A wonderful trip. The ride was not difficult at all and I got to see parts of Azumino that I hadn't been to before. My sons enjoyed themselves immensely, which is a neat trick when you have teenage boys. Hiro was a wonderful guide and very patient with us as my family added, subtracted, and rescheduled due to some schedule hiccups and the weather. The route we took is mostly flat with a few (very small) hills along the way. We were on city bikes, but it wasn't difficult at all. I'd recommend this to anyone capable of riding a bike regardless of age as it's a great way to see Azumino at its best.-Highly recommend- We had a great time exploring Japanese rural side with city bike. Azumino was amazingly beautiful town surrounded clear mountains. I would highly recommend this tour, one of highlight of my Japan trip moment!
