Thank you for using us always. Since 2022, November 3rd is officially “Biwaichi Day” here in Shiga, when we have a lot of cycling events to promote cycle tourism around Lake Biwa. This year in 2023, because we would have to work for the event on that day and be off from Maibara Cycle Station, our bike rental service won’t be provided only on November 3rd in 2023. Therefore, customers can’t rent a bike from us nor return it here at Maibara station on that day, so please make a plan for cycling/renting a bike from us carefully. We are working as a bike rental shop before/after the Biwaichi Day. Thank you for your understanding. Please say hello if you see us on the road by the lake on Biwaichi Day in 2023!
