Explore Toyama’s hidden gems on a guided e-bike tour. Experience local charm with the scent of the wind, the sounds of the season, and the light of the countryside.
Begin at a pear orchard known for Toyama’s brand fruit, Kureha pears. Enjoy a downhill ride with panoramic views of the city, Toyama Bay, and the Tateyama Mountain Range. During harvest season, taste fresh pears and buy them directly from the farm (optional, at your own expense).
Next, ride through a serene rural area where mountains reflect in rice paddies like a water mirror. Travel along quiet back roads at a pace suitable for beginners.
At lunchtime, stop at Kurosakiya, a local fish and deli shop. Purchase fresh sashimi and homemade deli items for an authentic Toyama dining experience (optional, at your own expense).
The tour culminates at Maedahan Nagaokayama Goryo Shinkokuji, a temple with a majestic landscape of stone lanterns. Your guide will explain the local history and significance of the site.
