Ride through the mountain scenery of Ryujin on an electric-assist mountain bike, starting from Ryujin Onsen (龍神温泉). Choose a short loop around the hot spring town, or go further along the Hidaka River.

Course examples

  • A. Ryujin Onsen town tour – a short course of about 6 km (about 30 min), with little climbing
  • B. Omata historical stroll – a short course of about 5 km (about 25 min)
  • C. Toward the source of the Hidaka River – a longer course of about 19 km (about 95 min)

After you return your bike, we recommend a day-use public hot spring bath and a buffet dinner at a hot spring hotel in Ryujin. There are no private baths. The dinner buffet is not served on some days, and advance booking is required.
