How hard is the riding?

Moderate. The e-bike motor takes the sting out of the mountain climb, but you should be comfortable riding a bicycle on roads with some traffic and curves.

Why are there daruma dolls everywhere at Katsuoji?

Katsuoji is known as the temple of winner's luck. Visitors buy a daruma, make a wish, and return it to the temple when the wish comes true, which is why thousands of the dolls now cover the grounds.

Is temple admission included?

Yes, admission to Katsuoji Temple is part of the tour, along with the e-bike, helmet, luggage storage, and rider liability insurance.

When is the best season to ride?

The route is scenic year-round, but autumn is special: Minoh's maple forest turns deep red, and the falls viewpoint becomes one of the region's favorite foliage spots.
