Such a memorable day away from the crowds out in the stunningly beautiful forests next to Nara. Elodie our guide was great. So personable, informative, encouraging. Some challenging hills to climb but the hybrid bikes (and we in our 60's) were up to it. No ebike option so expect some huffing and puffing but who doesn't like that!
Response from Host, Dec 2023
We are so grateful for your 5-star review! Thanks for sharing your rating and your experience with us and the community.
What a terrific work out and what a beautiful forest experience! I loved getting out of the city and climbing some hills. The hidden carved Buddhas and ruined temple in the forest were real pluses. Rémi paced me well, and gave me lots of insights into the natural world, as well as Japanese history and culture. He was also just a great companion on our ride. if you want to shake off the “yet another temple” feeling and get yourself moving, this is the experience for you!
