Overview

Embark on an e-bike tour perfect for adventure enthusiasts eager to explore traditional Japanese rural landscapes, historical shrines, and the birthplace of Super Mario. Friendly local guides, born and raised in the town, will guide you in English. Choose between two courses: Course A, which includes a hands-on soba noodle-making experience and a soba set meal, or Course B, featuring local produce at a restaurant in a traditional Japanese house. Whether you're with family, a group, or alone, you'll have a great time. Enjoy the unique “Kyoto countryside (Satoyama)” experience in Sonobe, Kyoto, where you can hear birds singing and the river flowing. Our tour is only a 30-minute train ride from Kyoto City. We also offer options like wearing a kimono and playing the traditional Japanese instrument “koto” for free. Vegan, vegetarian, and allergy-friendly meals are available upon request.
