    · October 30th, 2024
    Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Just needed more hill climbing training. Being on the older side of things I would have been better off using an e bike but find they are too bulky. I preferred the lighter non electric bikes for maneuvering.

      While the cycling distances may vary from 10 to 80km (6-50 miles) each day, it's important to note that the terrain of the Gifu Prefecture can be naturally hilly, and the climate can vary significantly. Most individuals with a reasonable level of fitness will enjoy the trip, but we always have a support vehicle available if you need to take a break, whether it's for an hour or a day. An e-bike option (at additional cost) is also an option on this tour. We have limited numbers of these bikes available, and they are an 'on request' basis only.
