Mr Daisuke Segi from Gujo, who loves fishing and is familiar with roads along Nagaragawa River started this cycling tour in 2016. He said “I hope you can know more about the wonderful nature of Gujo, but not only Gujo Odori Dance Festival and castle town.” We are going to introduce three courses with all the attractive points of Gujo. First of all, “Nature Route” of about 22km in length from Nagaragawa Railway Gujo-Hachiman Station to Minamikodakara Onsen Station, is cycling in the countryside and through the forest along Nagaragawa River. Participants ride a mountain bike lightly on a country road with few traffic and pass through a tunnel of trees while enjoying the scenery of nature alongside the clear stream of the Nagara River. As there are many downhill slopes, even beginners can try it. There is also a break time to visit a shrine, to see the moment when Nagaragawa Railway crosses the iron bridge, and to have a snack with Nagara River cider in the second half of the cycling route. The last destination is hot spring Minamikodakara Onsen located inside the station building. Bathing at an open-air bath after sweating is the best! We are going to take Nagaragawa Railway and return to Gujo-Hachiman Station on our way back. Please also enjoy this train journey of about 30 minutes while seeing Nagaragawa River through the train window and looking at the road you have ran by your bicycle.
