ASHIYU HOT SPRING ROUTE
The Izu peninsula is full of ashiyu, picturesque outdoor thermal foot baths. These baths are also an ideal place to meet the local people. On this trip we will visit the region’s main ashiyu, particularly the Izunagaoka and Shuzenji areas, cycling along the banks of the Kano River.
On clear days, Mount Fuji will accompany us throughout the trip.
This route is gentle and suitable for everyone.
If you are only interested in a self-guided tour, simply rent an eBike at one of our rental centres (transport of the bicycles to and from your hotel is subject to a charge).
