Hagi Samurai Town Cycling Tour with Local Guide (3.5 hours)

Hagi is perfectly sized for exploring by bicycle.

The approximately 11 km route is designed to avoid crowds, guiding you through traditional streets, a scenic coastline, and quiet, lesser-known spots. Along the way, you may also encounter local residents and everyday scenes of life in Hagi. This tour goes beyond typical sightseeing, offering a chance to understand how the people of Hagi continue to protect their town and carry its spirit into the future.
