Winter Closing 2024 – 2025 【12/16/2024-2/19/2025】
⛄Winter Closing⛄
From: 12/16/2024（Mon）Until: 2/19/2025（Thu）
Thank you for using our bike rental service this year of 2024, too.
As you can see in the photo below, we have had so many guests from many different countries and they left great message on it. We will keep it to inspire ourselves as it feels kinda reward for us.
Since more tourists from overseas have been coming to Japan these years, there’s overtourism in many cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto – if you don’t like to be in the crowds, why not come to countrysides like here in Shiga and biking is the best way to explore local areas and to refresh yourself.
Unfortunately, we have to close our shop temporarily because of the coldness and the snow during winter. Meanwhile, we are getting ready for the next season while doing maintenance on bikes and everything.
So,
have a wonderful holidays and all the best for the new year.
We all are excited about welcoming you from abroad in spring!
