Our electric bikes offer an effortless way to ride up steep hills, providing a unique and enjoyable experience for our guests. Even those who have never ridden an Ebike before will be amazed by its power and stability. Once at the top, visitors can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the town of Oasa and the surrounding countryside, which is particularly impressive due to the mountainous terrain. Despite its stunning scenery, this place is rarely visited by the locals. One of the reasons why this tour is so special is that not many people come to this site. However, our guests have praised this picturesque location for its beauty and uniqueness.

This area is home to a picturesque farming community that has retained its traditional appearance from the past. The community is made up of quaint houses, numerous rice fields, streams teeming with wildlife and hidden gems that tourists rarely get to see. Cycling around the community is fun in itself, but we can also stop at certain locations to immerse ourselves in Japanese culture, making the journey even more special by learning about the lives of the locals, which are centered around agriculture.

Oasa's main street, once a bustling hub of people and shops, is now quiet and unhurried. The old buildings that remain are a testament to the town's past prosperity. Despite this, there are still a handful of shops on the street that cater to the needs of people from both inside and outside Oasa. It would be fascinating to explore these businesses and perhaps meet and interact with their owners. Learning about their passions and aspirations could have a positive impact on your life.
