Wakasa Tourist Infomation

Rental Bike

One of the best ways to get more close to nature, reach historic and cultural locations, and appreciate Wakasa to the full, is on a bicycle. Another route is the 11km long ‘Wakasa Nature Cycling Course’ from Mikata Lake to the eastern bank of Suigetsu Lake. This is a good way to see the fresh spring-time greenery, colorful autumn leaves, winter snow-scenes, and to bask in summer breezes.
