Ride an electric bicycle (e-Bike) with your guide through the countryside surrounding the 1998 Winter Olympic city. This is the perfect outing for all cycling enthusiasts looking to explore beyond the usual.

Nagano and its magnificent countryside

Nagano is centered in the Japanese countryside and makes an ideal destination for exploring the city and its surroundings by bicycle! Beyond the city center and the sacred Zenkoji Temple, Nagano offers a network of scenic routes for you to explore.

You’ll ride past the Olympic M-Wave building and out toward the edge of the city. Along the way, the path opens up to views of rice paddies, apple orchards, and traditional farmhouses. In the distance, the peaks of the Japanese Alps rise above it all, with Hakuba’s ski slopes easily visible on a clear day.

Circuits for all levels by electric bike

Whether you’re a casual rider or a cycling enthusiast, this e-bike tour is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for all levels. The ride is smooth and relaxed, taking you from the heart of Nagano out into its beautiful countryside. You’ll cruise past wide fields and follow quiet country roads that lead into the low hills surrounding the city offering impressive views of the Nagano Valley.

More than just a cycling trip, this is an adventure into the culture and history of Nagano. Many visitors never see this side of the city, and that’s what makes it special. With a friendly local guide to lead the way, you’ll learn about the area’s history and hidden spots while enjoying the ride at your own pace

After riding alongside the Chikuma River and discovering scenic backroads and rural areas, the tour wraps up back at Nagano Station. It’s a satisfying loop that gives you a fresh perspective on a place that’s so much more than its famous landmarks.
