More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You meet at Kamo Station as the morning light slices across planted rows and narrow lanes. The first pedals are easy—flat roads beside mirror-like rice paddies—before the route lifts, the e-bike's motor nudging you gently into terraced tea fields. Wazuka opens like a living map of green lines; workers' paths and stone terraces shape the slope while the scent of fresh tea rides the breeze.

Confirm bike fit before departure
Ensure the e-bike is adjusted to your height (minimum 160 cm) and test motor assist levels—comfort at the start prevents fatigue later.

Many rural teahouses and shrines accept only cash—bring coins and small bills for snacks or donations.
Hydrate and snack frequently
Seven hours of riding with rolling climbs requires steady hydration; use the included water and pack an energy snack for the pass.

Rural roads are narrow with occasional loose gravel and farm vehicles—ride defensively and dismount for narrow bridges or steep walkways.

Padded cycling shorts or comfort saddle
