Overview

Join me as we cycle along the old road of Okutama once used as a trade route to Tokyo.
I will introduce you to the history, nature and culture of the area, which is very different from Tokyo. Along the way, we will come across springs, wasabi fields, old shrines, mountain villages, and maybe spot some wildlife along the way. Our destination is Lake Okutama, a large man made lake, there will visit a small museum exhibiting historic artifacts. We'll then return to town to soak our feet at local onsen - hot spring.
After, we will shop for souvenirs.

Please come 30 mins early to check in and get ready. i.e. 12.30 for 1pm start.
