Do I need to be an experienced cyclist to join?

No. Basic cycling ability is enough. The electric assist does most of the work, the pace is relaxed, and the route is rated easy.

What happens at the start of the tour?

You meet at the e-bike base for a short introduction to your bike and a safety briefing, then set off toward Nara's historic center with your guide.

How does the deer feeding in Nara Park work?

Your guide leads you to the park's free-roaming deer and hands out deer cookies, so you can feed them and take photos along the way.

Can I buy a Japanese knife during the tour?

Yes. The route stops at Kikuichi, a historic knife maker, where you can browse the shop and get advice from your guide if you would like to buy.
