Amanohashidate Sand bar & culture e-bike tour

About this activity

Amanohashidate is a 3km long natural sandbar revered since ancient times as a bridge to the heavens. On this tour, you will cross the sandbar on an electric bike and visit the beautiful beaches and shrines along the way.

You will enjoy a pleasant ride through rice fields and historic roads while admiring the beautiful ocean.

Afterwars, you will visit spots recommended by local guides that most tourists don't visit, such as a shrine with over 2000 years of history and the mansion of a samurai merchant who was once a wealthy merchant due to time and energy constraints.

This tour uses the latest e-bikes, so even those not physically fit can enjoy it.
