Overview

Step beyond the usual sightseeing routes and travel through ancient Kibi on a 4.5-hour guided E-Bike journey from Okayama to Soja. Ride along the historic Sanyo Road, through charming local streets and peaceful rice fields, while your guide brings the region's history and folklore to life. Discover the roots of the Momotaro (Peach Boy) legend at Kibitsuhiko Shrine and Ura Shrine, then see historic Kibitsu Shrine. Climb Tsukuriyama Kofun, one of Japan's largest ancient burial mounds, for a rare chance to walk on a 1,600-year-old landmark. Continue to the picturesque five-story pagoda of Bitchu Kokubunji Temple and visit Soja Shrine. Along the way, your guide will arrange a break at a local café or restaurant, with food and drinks paid for separately. Depending on the season and availability, stop at a fruit farm for optional shopping. Electric-assist bikes make this approximately 22 km route enjoyable while you discover rural Japan beyond the crowds.
