This is a private short cycling tour in the Hagiwara Town of Hida region. The Hagiwara Town is located between 2 major tourist spots: Takayama and Gero, so most people just pass by train and miss the beauty of town such as unspoiled nature and peaceful atmosphere. Once you get off at the Hida-Hagiwara station, you will easily realise how beautiful and cosy it is.
