Recommended routes by rental bicycle

  • A cycling course from Iwana no Sato through the center of Kawauchi Village to Kawauchi no Yu (model course 2)

    Departure port: Iwana no Sato

    Cycling Course Introduction: After renting a bicycle at Iwana no Sato, head along the village roads surrounded by greenery towards National Route 399. On a sunny day, sunlight filters through the trees, making for a pleasant cycling experience. Once you reach National Route 399, turn left towards Iwaki. Kawauchi Village is famous for its delicious soba noodles, and we recommend the soba-shubo Tenzan restaurant for its tasty 100% buckwheat soba for lunch. The
    Kawauchi Village specialty goods market, Are-Kore Ichiba, is located next to the arrival port, Kawauchi no Yu, making it a recommended stop.
