Noto has become one of the most popular cycling destination in Japan thanks to its huge variety of landscapes and deep cultural heritage. Unfortunately, being a remote rural area, there is yet no facility for independant travelers to rent a good bicycle and enjoy the peninsula the best way possible. I have been living in the Wajima countryside for over 5 years, where I have been learning about local history and culture, while working at a traditional salt farm; and more recently as a local guide and cycling tour guide. Depending on your interests and location, I will bring you to the most rewarding routes for an unforgetable day in Noto. The bicycles are light weighed quality bicycles (Cannondale quick 2). The area is quite mountainaous, so climbing is unavoidable. That means a minimum level of fitness is required. To make the tour accessible to your whole group, e-bikes (or road bikes) can also be available for an extra fee if booked at least 3 days prior.

This tour mainly focuses on guiding you through Kenrokuen Garden and the Higashi Chaya District, two of Kanazawa’s most iconic and beautiful areas. While walking at a relaxed pace, you will learn about local history, culture, and daily life, and enjoy the atmosphere of Kanazawa in the morning. Other nearby landmarks may be introduced briefly depending on time and interest, but the main highlights of this tour are Kenrokuen Garden and Higashi Chaya District.
