Introduction to Rental Bicycles 🚴🚴🚴
How about casually exploring the hot air balloon town of Kami Shihoro with a rental bicycle in a "Chari-bura" style?
From leisurely cycling around the town to tackling the challenging climbs and descents of a real hill climb, you can enjoy it in your preferred style 🎵🎵
Bicycles are available for rent at three locations: "Michinoeki Kamishihoro" and "Kamishihoro Town Transportation Terminal" in the city center, and "Higashi-Taisetsu Nature Center" in the Nukabira area!
Additionally, on the two selectable 22km courses between "Higashi-Taisetsu Nature Center" and "Michinoeki Kamishihoro," a drop-off service is also available.
If you start from the "Higashi-Taisetsu Nature Center" in Nukabira Gensenkyo, you can enjoy a comfortable downhill ride, mainly downhill‼
On the other hand, for those who want to test their stamina, the uphill-focused hill climb course on the reverse route is recommended. 🚵♀️🚵♀️
