Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture is a place with many attractions, including beautiful nature, a shrine with a 1,300-year history, and a dinosaur town that still retains the breath of ancient times. Traveling using an electrically assisted bicycle (e-bike) is the perfect means of transportation to Katsuyama, allowing you to travel leisurely while admiring the natural scenery and cityscape.

In this article, we will introduce the appeal of traveling, focusing on electric assist bicycle rentals and excursion plans in Katsuyama City.

Easily travel around while enjoying nature and the scenery of the town!

Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture is home to the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum , which is counted as one of the three largest dinosaur museums in the world, Heisenji Hakusan Shrine, which has a history of 1,300 years and is covered in beautiful moss, and is home to Japan's tallest indoor seated statue. There are various sightseeing spots such as the famous Echizen Daibutsu , Yume Ole Katsuyama , a museum facility that condenses the history of Katsuyama 's textiles, and the Katsuyama Castle Museum , which boasts the tallest tower in Japan.

I would like to visit various facilities, but it is difficult to walk around because each facility is located a little far from the other. However, traveling around by car or taxi is boring.

Therefore, we recommend renting an e-bike, which allows you to enjoy sightseeing spots while experiencing the beauty of nature and the city. In addition to rentals, we also offer plans that include admission fees, so please take a look.

What is an electrically assisted bicycle “e-bike”?

This is a bicycle that uses electricity from a rechargeable battery to assist in pedaling. This electric bicycle is lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it ideal for city rides as it allows for smooth direction changes in parking lots and narrow alleys. There is an auto-assist mode that detects the rider's pedaling and automatically outputs the optimal assist, allowing you to enjoy cycling on flat roads and slopes without any difficult operations.

It also comes with a 3-speed transmission, allowing you to adjust your favorite rowing style. When used in combination with the assist function, you can travel on steep mountain roads and slopes without any strain.

Please feel free to contact us regarding the use of instruction manuals and rental bicycles, as we also provide support in foreign languages.
