Explore Hidden Japan: Obuse Bike Tour & Orchard Picnic

3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Explore Obuse's cultural and rural charms on a leisurely, half-day self-guided cycling tour. This tour is self-guided, but if you'd prefer a guide, book a guided tour through the options. This tour is seasonal, available from April to November.

After walking around the town, rent a bicycle and go cycling.
Visit the Gansho-in Temple, home to Hokusai’s awe-inspiring Phoenix ceiling painting, and enjoy a picnic lunch under the apple trees at Kobayashi Farm—an unforgettable way to experience Obuse’s orchard culture. (Note: if you join us for the afternoon tour, we will have the picnic lunch first.)

The tour ends back at the station with plenty of scenic memories in tow. This tour is perfect for travelers looking to combine gentle activity, cultural discovery, and fresh air in a beautiful countryside setting.

Caution: Obuse experiences intense summers, so always carry water to prevent dehydration, as well as a pair of sunglasses.
