Itinerary
This is a private short cycling tour in the Hagiwara Town of Hida region. The Hagiwara Town is located between 2 major tourist spots: Takayama and Gero, so most people just pass by train and miss the beauty of town such as unspoiled nature and peaceful atmosphere. Once you get off at the Hida-Hagiwara station, you will easily realise how beautiful and cosy it is.

About Gero
Gero is a hot-spring town on the Hida River in Gifu Prefecture, ranked among Japan's three famous onsen, in the mountains south of Takayama.
Gero Onsen has drawn bathers for centuries along the Hida River, which runs clear through a narrow valley in the mountains of Gifu. The Edo-period scholar Hayashi Razan named it, with Arima and Kusatsu, as one of Japan's three great hot springs. The water is alkaline and soft and is known for leaving the skin smooth, and inns and public baths stand along the river.
