On the second day of the trip, participants will embark on an E-bike ride to Ashikubo Tea Works, where they will have the opportunity to indulge in the pleasures of tea. Situated amidst the tea fields, the terrace seating offers stunning views of the surroundings.

Day 3
On the third day of the tour, participants will continue their exploration by E-bike, heading to visit the ancient Horai Bridge. Spanning the Oi River, the Hourai Bridge (Hourai-bashi) is a remarkably old wooden pedestrian bridge, measuring 897.4 meters in length with a width of 2.4 meters. Still in use today as a farm road, it serves as a valuable historical land improvement facility, attracting numerous tourists. Following this visit, participants will cycle to Kanaya Station, continuing their journey through the picturesque landscapes of Shizuoka.
