Highlights
Hagi is perfectly sized for exploring by bicycle. On this 3.5-hour tour, you will experience one of Japan’s most extensively preserved samurai towns (Castle town) from the Edo period (over 400 years ago)—protected across a vast area and home to sites registered as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site—along with the everyday lives of the people who have lived here for over 400 years. The approximately 11 km route is designed to avoid crowds, guiding you through traditional streets, a scenic coastline, and quiet, lesser-known spots. Along the way, you may also encounter local residents and everyday scenes of life in Hagi. This tour goes beyond typical sightseeing, offering a chance to understand how the people of Hagi continue to protect their town and carry its spirit into the future.
