Biking to Uminonakamichi and Around Shikanoshima
-
- As fun as Fukuoka’s urban core is, it is also a good idea to get out and explore its natural side, as well as the surrounding beaches and islands. Being on the shores of the Genkai-nada Sea, the city boasts sandy beaches and pristine waters within a close distance of Hakata and its harbour. Good for leisure and serious riders alike, a worthwhile trip during a visit to Fukuoka is a bike trip to and around Shikanoshima Island. This island is located across Hakata Bay and is actually connected by a narrow road to the Uminonakamichi Seaside Park. It is also reachable via a 30 minute ferry ride from Hakata Harbour. The area has gained popularity in recent years and rightly so, the beaches on this side of the bay are cleaner than their urban counterparts, and several natural entertainment options, as well as a marine park are quickly accessible. For riders looking for a good challenge, the ride can start from Hakata by renting a bike at TAKATANIYA Bike Rental at 2,000 yen～ per road bike (which you will definitely need for this feat), then bordering the whole bay on its east side. Riding all through Uminonakamichi to Shikanoshima is a pleasure, but the ride through the industrial area prior to reaching this point could be rough as it cuts through a part of Fukuoka’s industrial area. A much smoother alternative is to hop on board the municipal ferry at Hakata Harbour, enjoy the cruise across the bay, and start your ride around the natural seaside area of Shikanoshima village. Ferries depart frequently from the Hakata Passenger Terminal, with the first departure from Hakata at 7:05am and the last ferry returning from Shikanoshima departing at 10:20pm（Mon~Sat). Departure from Hakata on Sunday at 7am and the last ferry returning from Shikanoshima departing at 9:20pm. However, it is recommended to make the trip during the morning or early afternoon at the latest as the bike rental shop on the island is only open until 6pm. Shikanoshima Ferry Passenger Tarminal Once off the boat at Shikanoshima Ferry Passenger Terminal, Shikashima Cycle is about a 5-minute walk away and the best place to rent your ride. The shop is closed on Tuesdays, but otherwise, it offers a good range of bicycles, from mini velos (1,500 yen for 3 hrs) to road bikes (4,000 for 3hrs), and other in between. This is not only a rental shop but also a cafe, making it a good location to also catch your breath during the ride. Bicycle Rental Shikashima Cycle ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

When you think of Hiroshima, you probably think of the Atomic Bomb Dome and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. But the city has a lot more to offer than just those two places. While trams run from the front of stations to the major sights, riding a bike offers you the freedom to more thoroughly explore the city. And you might even get a taste of what daily life is like in Hiroshima on your way. Let’s grab some wheels and get started!Book here : Japan Travel Ticket Booking Site Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park Cycling Course This is the cycling course.(9km) Start: 10:00 a.m. Namiki-dori There’s no shortage of Cycle Ports along Namiki-dori, the street that serves as Hiroshima’s downtown area. Our course begins at 10 a.m., so there’s no need to roll out of bed super early. Have a little extra sleep time to make sure you’re rested for the day. Then stop in for breakfast at one of the many places on Namiki-dori to charge your batteries before finding a Cycle Port close by. Bike Rental has English instructions on their website to guide you through the process of using their electric-assisted bikes, so no need to worry about that part. Hop on and off we go!

The materials of the castle were highly heat resistant, so the majority of the main tower didn’t burn in the heat from the explosion, but was rather pushed down by the blast. Then the wood from the castle was used as much-needed material to rebuild structures or as firewood in the aftermath. All of the castle you see today was reconstructed in 1958. Now it holds a museum detailing the history of the city before the bomb.

The pagoda reflects off the surface of the water, flanked by trees and set against the sky, making it arguably the best picture of the temple. It’s definitely not to be missed. Inside the temple you’ll find plenty of Nara’s famous deer that will likely try to snuggle up to you for a snack, so be wary any food you have with you.The temple’s statue of Ashura, the Buddhist god of war, is designated as a National Treasure, and it’s open to the public during special visitation periods.

On the verdant temple grounds there are countless Jizo bodhisattva statues and stone buddhas placed in neat rows, some peeking through moss fields and others keeping the company of flowers.

With the time you save today, you can return for a more thorough look through later. 2:30 p.m. Heijo Palace Suzaku Gate Heijo-kyo was built as the imperial seat and capital of Japan about 1,300 years ago in present-day Nara. With this city as its center of government and culture, the Ritsuryō Codes law system was put into place. For the next 74 years, from 710 to 784 CE, Nara was the official capital of Japan, and this period of history became known as the Nara period.Several of the Heijo Palace buildings have been restored on the former grounds, and the towering Suzaku Gate is also a World Heritage Site. Witness the reconstructed glory of the Nara Period. ・Riding Time: 17 minutes ・Distance: 3 km 3:00 p.m. Toshodaiji Toshodaiji Inside the temple grounds of Toshodaiji you can find the Kodo Lecture Hall, which was transplanted from Heijo Palace, along with the azekura wooden storehouses and other buildings that retain their original stylings from the Nara period. There are also several buddha statues from the Tempyo period, which are designated as National Treasures or Important Cultural Properties.The Kondo (Golden Hall) houses a Thousand-Armed Kannon statue that’s listed as a National Treasure.

Its stately East and West Pagodas are symbols of the temple’s symmetrical design, and while the East Pagoda will be under renovations until April 2020, the Main Hall and West Pagoda are still looking their best.Last entrance to the temple is at 4:30 p.m., and it closes at 5 p.m. So you’ll want to make the rounds pretty quickly.There aren’t that many Cycle Ports around this area, so it’s probably best to ride over to Nara Station or Naramachi to return your bike. But once that’s done, the evening is all yours. West Pagodas Book here : Japan Travel Ticket Booking Site ©NAVITIME JAPAN. Travel Info Check out our travel tips to make your trip better!

Bike Sharing in Japan
-
- Although Japan is renowned for its efficient railways, shuttling commuters around bustling urban centers and across the country at record speed, a common sight all over the country are locals on large (usually electric-powered) cruiser bikes with children in tow. These so-called mamacharis, or mom bicycles, are such a mainstay in metropolitan areas that bikes are the second most common form of transportation, next to the train. It is very common in suburban areas to see huge parking lots close to train stations holding thousands of bikes, used by commuters on a daily basis who are going to work in the more central areas of the city. Get on a bike and ride For travelers too, there are lots of advantages that come with jumping on a bike to get around. In downtown areas, cycling means you aren’t restricted to traversing routes based on the layout of the train lines, and tying your trip to the suburban population centers and large public transport hubs. It gives you the freedom to explore the quieter areas in between–which are often more charming–and opening up opportunities to find shops and restaurants that are only known to locals. Get on a bike and ride In Tokyo, on the west side in particular, a lot of the train lines run from east to west spreading out from the central hubs of Shibuya or Shinjuku, so there is a lot to discover when riding a bike from north to south that cannot be seen from the window of a train. So instead of getting the Keio Line train from Shimokitazawa directly back to Shibuya, jump on a bike and ride down through to Sangenjaya or Gakugeidaigaku, past local cafes and bars, parks, shops, and historical buildings. Just remember that drinking alcohol and riding in Japan is illegal, so be sure that your liquid intake is of the non-alcoholic variety, at least until you drop the bike off.The rivers of Tokyo are also relaxing riding locations; make your way along the Tamagawa River in the west past the fields of school children playing baseball, or head north from Asakusa in the east beside the winding Arakawa River with the ever-present Skytree in full view. Get on a bike and ride In the countryside, you can cover much more ground than what would be possible by relying on walking and the occasional taxi, and get a real feel for the atmosphere of the towns and the tranquility of rural areas. Escape from the regular tourist areas, and head up into the hills, along the rivers, or along the streets of traditional houses that make a trip to rural Japan such a special experience. Bike rental services Just because it may not be worth the investment of purchasing a bike for your visit to Japan, doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the freedom of cycling to explore both city and country areas. Bike rental services In the past, local cities and tourist areas have introduced bicycle rental services that can be used on a daily basis, but they would often come with restrictive limitations, like having to return the bike to the bicycle parking lot it was picked up from (usually by a certain time in the mid-afternoon so the lot staff can go home for dinner), and the inability to keep the bike overnight. It was also difficult to know which type of bike would be available before arriving at the bicycle parking lot, as well as individual lots having different pricing tables. Bike sharing services But in recent years several bicycle sharing services have popped up that are easy to sign up for and use, and negate a lot of the shortcomings associated with these more traditional rental services. The new sharing services can connect with smartphone apps where you can quickly register and reserve a bike in advance, pay with a credit card, and lock and unlock bikes easily. The bikes can be picked up and dropped off at small parking areas all across Japan, a lot of which are located close to tourist attractions. Bike sharing services The most widespread bicycle sharing system available is the ‘docomo bike share service’, developed by the major Japanese telecommunications company, docomo. Originally focusing on locations in Tokyo and Yokohama, the service has been successfully expanded to other cities Japan-wide, such as Osaka, Sendai, Nagoya, and Hiroshima, and is also available in more rural locations like Oita, Onomichi, Nara, and Okinawa. The red docomo bikes are easy to find and visually distinctive, with a luggage basket in the front which can easily hold your bag or backpack, and black battery pack near the pedals. With bikes widely available, well-maintained, and battery-powered, it’s a breeze to ride around the hilly terrain commonly associated with a trip to Japan. Easy to ride By signing up at the Japan Travel Ticket Booking Site you can quickly reserve a bike and pay by credit card, with a day pass coming in at a around 1,500 yen. All you need to do is register and make a reservation, and go to the bike rental location and enter the bike number in the app. You will then receive a unique four-digit password to unlock the bike. Fix the height of the seat so it is comfortable, turn on the electric-assistance motor, and you’re ready to ride. Japan Travel Ticket Booking Site Before you go out, we recommend that you make a plan and decide the general area where you would like to start your ride (possibly after some early morning sightseeing on foot), and where you would like to end up, so you can make the most of your ride. You can then look at the locations of the bike stations in the app or on the website and work out the most interesting way to get to your destination. Japan Travel Ticket Booking Site Cycling Highlights With so many places to cover, and hundreds of locations where the bikes can be picked up and dropped off, it can be a bit bewildering deciding where to go and what is possible in a day, so we have come up with a list of great cycling tours across Japan; highlighting where to go, what to see, and how to navigate it. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.
