The Hidaka Mountains seen from Memuro Town are at just the right distance, and depending on the season, combined with the patchwork scenery of the fields, they show a typical Hokkaido look.
Tokachi's roads are typical of Hokkaido and are straight, but sometimes there are hills. However, don't worry, you can easily ride an electric-assist bicycle if you rent one!

The tour starts in the Kamimio district of Memuro Town, and along the way you can enjoy explanations about agriculture and dairy farming at the side of ranches and fields.

Lunch is included at a hidden cafe where you can see the Hidaka Mountains nearby. The flowers in the garden in front of the restaurant are also worth a look. "Vindskov" is known for its Scandinavian-style exterior and ethnic cuisine, and is a popular restaurant with many repeat customers.

Along the way, you can ride through forests where you might encounter animals, and enjoy the soothing sounds of sunlight filtering through the trees and the chirping of birds. As you climb the slope leading to the Shin-Arashiyama Sky Park Observatory, including some off-road driving, you can see not only the Hidaka Mountains, but also the Daisetsu Mountains in the distance on clear days. After taking in this magnificent view that is truly quintessential Tokachi, you can slowly return to the starting point.

Like other "Sanso Cycling Tours", this tour allows you to fully experience the history, culture, and nature of Memuro Town in Tokachi, Hokkaido with a guide!
