Itinerary
Escape the crowds and discover hidden North Osaka on a guided E-MTB ride through the mountains of Minoh. Ride to Katsuo-ji Temple ⛩️, famous for thousands of red daruma dolls and its pilgrimage culture. After exploring the temple, leave the paved roads and descend historic forest trails once used by pilgrims. Expect natural terrain: • Roots, rocks, turns, and uneven surfaces • Routes for beginners to experienced riders • Pace and trail choice adjusted to your level Unlike a typical city cycling tour, this experience combines real E-MTB trail riding, mountain scenery, temple culture, and a hidden side of Osaka. Your Minoh-born local guide can suggest food stops, from Japanese meals to a Japan Top 100 burger restaurant or Minoh craft beer. Routes may change with weather, trail conditions, and the group. Optional upgrade: Add 2 more trail runs for a 6–7 hour ride with more technical terrain. Tour Flow • Meet and transfer to Minoh • Bike fitting and safety briefing • Ride to Katsuo-ji Temple • Explore the temple • Descend forest trails • Return for optional food or beer Duration: Approx. 4–6 hours Please provide your height in advance.
