I wanted to see the Suzaku Gate that I had seen from the car window on the way to Nara, so I went to the Heijo Palace Site. It's very large, so renting a bicycle was a great decision! I was able to visit all the places I wanted to see. It was my first time riding an electric-assist bicycle, and it was very comfortable!
