Highlights

Escape the Osaka city center and ride through the forests and mountains of Mino on an electric mountain bike! Ride a high-end E-MTB to visit Katsuo-ji Temple, famous for its thousands of Daruma dolls, then ride through forest paths once walked by pilgrims and natural mountain trails. The course is adjusted by the guide based on the day's trail conditions and the participants' skill level, making it even more special. This is an activity where you can experience a different side of Osaka, combining sightseeing, mountain biking, Japanese pilgrim culture, and local food.

Program

Into the Mino Mountains of Osaka on an E-MTB

Meet your local guide at Shin-Osaka Station and travel to Mino by public transport. Upon arrival, get ready with your E-MTB, helmet, and gloves, receive a brief safety orientation, and then begin your ride.

High-end electric mountain bikes such as Specialized Levo SL and Trek Rail are provided for the ride. With the help of the electric motor, you can comfortably tackle uphill climbs while still enjoying the dynamic riding experience unique to mountain biking.

Ride out from the city outskirts into the mountains to visit Katsuo-ji Temple, known for its countless red Daruma dolls. Explore the temple while learning about the history, faith, and ancient pilgrim culture of the Mino region.

Natural Mountain Trails Once Traversed by Pilgrims

After exploring Katsuo-ji Temple, venture off the typical tourist path for an authentic forest trail ride. Follow the paths connected to ancient pilgrim routes and experience the serene mountain scenery rarely found in urban Osaka.

These are natural mountain trails, not a well-maintained bike park. Expect a mix of tree roots, rocks, curves, and steep sections, with trail conditions varying based on the day's weather and season.

The course is not fixed. Your guide will select the appropriate route and pace based on your mountain biking experience, confidence, and the current trail conditions. If conditions are good and you're an experienced rider, you can tackle more technical sections.

※ While professional-level skills aren't required, you should be comfortable riding a bicycle and navigating unpaved/uneven terrain.

Enjoy Mino's Local Cuisine Between Rides

Enjoy local Mino cuisine alongside your ride. Instead of a set restaurant, your guide will recommend suitable places based on your preferences, the day's route, and opening hours.

Options range from burger joints to Japanese set meals in cafes converted from old Japanese houses, or local udon and katsudon. Depending on the situation, you might even get to try locally brewed Mino beer.

The ride concludes at Minokayamano Station, conveniently located for travel back to Osaka city, allowing you to easily continue with your next plans. You'll also receive a souvenir water bottle from a Japanese cycling brand.

※ Food and drinks are not included.
※ Actual routes and visited locations may vary depending on participant skill, weather, and trail conditions.
