Experience Overview
This course takes you on a relaxing, slow cycling tour along the Yoshino River, centered around the “Wakimachi Udatsu Townscape.” This historic town is lined with traditional buildings from the mid-Edo period and once flourished as a major hub for indigo merchants. The townscape retains much of its old charm today, offering an ideal spot to stop and explore stylish cafes and indigo-dye shops housed in beautifully refurbished buildings.
During the tour, you will cycle along the traffic-free embankment of the Yoshino River and cross over to Anabuki. Along the way, you will stop by a long-established Japanese sweets shop to enjoy traditional treats. Finally, you will continue cycling through Maechushima, a major indigo-producing area, before returning to the historic townscape.
