Just 90 Minutes from Osaka! Highlights from Beautiful Ako City

Kibiji bicycle path

Japan, 7191123 Kanbayashi, Soja City, Okayama Prefecture

The Kibiji Cycling Road is a scenic 25km long cycling road that has been selected as one of Japan's top 100 roads. It is mostly flat with some slight ups and downs. It is dotted with historical spots that represent Okayama Prefecture, such as Kokubunji Temple, Tsukuriyama Tumulus, and Kibitsujinja shrine. You'll have the most fun seeing the rural areas, including rice fields and local houses, and interacting with residents and farmers along the way. It's a completely different experience from other tourist-oriented castles and temples, so it's worth spending a day there if you have time. There are delicious bakeries and local farmers markets in this area, so be sure to grab some lunch if you find one.
