I joined the Koumi Line priority-activity train “Highland Cycling Tour” As part of efforts by the Koumi Line Regional Revitalization Council, an activity-priority train runs on the Koumi Line today and tomorrow, Sunday, September 28. In line with that service, I took part in a monitored tour that started at Nobeyama Station, rode e-bikes around the Nobeyama Highlands, and headed for Kiyosato Station. https://koumilinehighlandtrain.hp.peraichi.com/ I didn’t even know the difference between an electric bicycle and an e-bike, but I was impressed not only by their stylish appearance but also by the sturdy tires and suspension that made me feel I could go anywhere. These bikes felt perfect for the Nobeyama Highlands, where not all roads are paved. It was my first time bringing a bicycle onto the train and riding it, and it went more smoothly than I expected—making the experience feel somewhat special. The Nobeyama Highlands will soon be an ideal season for cycling. The tourist information center in front of Nobeyama Station also rents bicycles, so please make use of it. Note: e-bikes are not available. ▼Reserve rental bicycles here https://www.kanko-nobeyama.jp/info/?p=567/
