Highlights
Tsuwano is a small rural town that has remarkably succeeded in preserving so much of Japan’s ancient traditions and historical landscapes until today. A great symbol of this is the "Hyakkeizu: One Hundred Sceneries of Tsuwano from the Edo period”, designated as Japan’s National Heritage, containing 100 paintings of the Tsuwano feudal domain about 160 years ago. In this 3 hour electric bike cycling tour, we will discover Tsuwano by plunging into the world of the 100 Sceneries. This is Yu-nas signature tour that we recommend as the first tour that visitors should experience when they visit Tsuwano.
