Explore local Japan life in Maibara by personal fun ride!


We have a new event this autumn, “MAIBARA Autumn Fes Ticket”

-What’s the concept?

We would like many people to know how wonderful Maibara is, to cycle, to stay, to live.
Usually we plan a cycling event in autumn, in which participants can enjoy local food, beautiful nature, wonderful view, and communication with local people, while cycling around. However, it’s difficult for us to do the same thing this year, so we planned an alternative event and this is it.

We prepared a special coupon which can be bought for 1000 yen and can be used as 2000 yen coupon [a book of 4 tickets].
【NOTE】The coupon was sold out on September 16th, thanks.

You can use the coupon at only 20 shops, restaurants, and temples in Maibara, where you can enjoy local good food, activities, seeing temples and the garden, seeing autumn color leaves, learning local life history & cuture, and buying some unique goods. Cycling with the coupon should be visiting a lot of local places and that will make your cycling more joyful. Our wish is you would find your favorite place in Maibara and come back there again. This coupon is just a opportunity we can give you.

Have a wonderful time in Maibara.
