Ikeda Reservoir BROMPTON Slow Cycling Tour
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
In principle, reservations are for two persons or more.
On this tour, you cycle around the Ikeda Reservoir formed in the middle of the Yoshino River.
The town of Ikeda, known as “the navel of Shikoku” has always prospered as a center of trade. After cycling through the retro shopping street, you come to a row of old merchant houses with ornamental ‘udatsu’ firewalls.
A slight rise brings you to the Yoshino River, which has the largest flow of Japan’s rivers. The deep reservoir and the man-made structures create a beautiful contrast.
This tour takes you through a historic town, along the magnificent Yoshino River, with a thrilling wire suspension bridge and a pretty submersible bridge. The route takes you along the Median Tectonic Line, one of the world’s biggest faults. If the surface of the water is calm, the reservoir becomes a huge mirror.

5.00I went on a tour of Awa Ikeda, the belly button of Shikoku. Take a stroll (pottering) with your guide with an old map of Awa Ikeda Merchant houses that flourished in tobacco, the topography of the central tectonic line, the relationship between Awa Ikeda and Yoshino River, bridges that feel stand-by-me, and submersible bridges... It was a satisfying tour with a course content that allowed us to get to know the local things in depth! Prompton itself is a comfortable ride, so if you can ride a bike, you can join us~
A heart-watering and inspiring petit trip experience!

5.00I took part in a cycling tour to explore the rich nature of Nishiawa (Miyoshi City) by bicycle! In Tokushima, where travel by car is mandatory, the experience of cycling with everyone while pedaling was really fun ^_^ It's the perfect time to refresh yourself as you saunter down the road surrounded by lush skies, rivers and lush mountains! The slope was also easy with the switchable bike ♪ In addition, the tour guide's attentive and helpful commentary & attendance will add color to your tour. I felt it was a great value tour where you don't have to go out of the prefecture to get a feel for the extraordinary petit trip. Recommended for those who want to calm their minds away from the hustle and bustle of the city. You will feel refreshed and refreshed! I hope everyone will enjoy the tour while loving the scenery of Tokushima ^_^

5.00Brompton Chari Touring in Awa Ikeda, called Shikoku's Navel, where you can access any prefecture in Shikoku. Udatsu, a restaurant renovated from a warehouse, pure Japanese architecture, a hardwood forest… It was a time when we could feel the breath of history and nature.
