What you can expect

Osaka Bay Area Tour,Undiscovered by Tourists.The well-developed public transport system of Osaka makes it easy and convenient to get around, but the most convenient way to get around is by bicycle. Especially in this bay area, public transport is not well developed, so ordinary tourists rarely enter the area. The entire tour is about 30 kilometres, cycling from reclaimed land to reclaimed land, on high bridges and ferries over canals, passing through factories, warehouses and residential areas, allowing you to enjoy the Osaka you have never seen before. From each bridge, you can enjoy the entire city of Osaka from different angles.

Not a tourist destination, but a new tourist destination.
Everything is easy with the YAMAHA E-Assist bike.
A brief history of Osaka using old maps
Your guide is a professional photographer and can even take pictures of you with your cell phone.

Activity itinerary

Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine

It is one of the oldest shrines in Japan with a history of nearly 2,000 years. It enshrines the three gods of the sea and the building is designated as a Japanese national treasure. It is also one of the birthplaces of Osaka Bay. The history of Osaka will be explained using an old map while walking around the shrine grounds.

Shinkizugawa Bridge

From the bridge, the view towards Tennoji and the Ikoma Mountains in the background is excellent. Enjoy the descent of the three-stage loop bridge. It is also a great place to take pictures. With a central span of 305 m and a length of 2.4 km, the bridge was the longest arch bridge in Japan at the time of its completion and the 14th largest in the world.
