Satoyama Village Cycling Ecotour
- by enya

Cycling tour starts here! Take up your mountain bike and helmet and after a safety briefing, from Spring to Autumn, we will enjoy a slow and easy ride down to the majestic Shiraito Waterfalls. In Winter, we explore Nishiyama Honmonji temple.

Next, we ride to Satoyama village, through natural rural landscapes and rice fields, with Mt Fuji in the background. Then its time for lunch, where we enjoy hand-made Soba noodles with finely battered Japanese tempura made with locally grown vegetables.

In the afternoon, we visit the Sake Brewery, and learn about the sake making process from an 18th generation owner. Hear the family stories and try different types of Sake.
