• ~A relaxed and enjoyable cycling experience, aptly named "Yuru-Cyk"~ This is not a cycling tour that involves speeding or strenuously riding long distances. Casual attire such as everyday clothes and sneakers is perfectly fine. This is a leisurely tour where you can enjoy the scenery and stories of Yamagata, stopping at scenic spots along the way. Anyone who can ride a bicycle can easily participate. We will weave together five unique connections that can only be found here. [Exploring] Steps and pedals weave a connection with the land From Akayu Station to the old streets of Miyauchi. By deliberately moving at a slow pace on a bicycle, you can feel the flowers and scents along the roadside, the temperature of the wind, and the breath of the land, things that you might miss if you were in a car. We will head from a local shrine enveloped in silence to a temple, visiting places of prayer for the local residents. [Harmonizing] Zen meditation in a tranquil garden that connects you to yourself A temple with a beautiful Japanese garden known only to a select few, carefully preserved by the local people. In the silence, you will spend a special time of Zen meditation that can only be experienced on this tour. Stop your thoughts and regulate your breathing in a digital detox. Let's spend some luxurious time surrounded by the flowers, greenery, and birdsong of the garden. [Savor] The "bounty of food" that revolves around the soil and water After Zen meditation, we will enjoy the blessings nurtured by the rich soil and water of Yamagata. Savoring the concentrated energy of the land of Yamagata is the most luxurious experience of cherishing ourselves as part of the natural cycle. [Weave] Connecting history to the present and contemplating destiny Two places of prayer in neighboring towns. In these two places, stories of "destiny" known only to a select few quietly breathe. The scenery and accumulation of prayers that have been preserved across generations are like threads intertwining. [Connect] A moment of conversation in the warmth at the end of the journey Let's conclude by resting our bodies at Akayu Onsen. While feeling the pleasant afterglow of cycling, we will surrender ourselves to the warm footbath. As you feel the warmth gently spreading from beneath your feet, reflect on the scenery you've seen today and the stories you've encountered along the way, and share your feelings with your guide. Small insights that you might overlook if you were just exploring on your own will become etched into your mind as a tangible "connection" when you put them into words through dialogue. This will be a precious time to harmonize your mind and body and connect with the sensations you've gained while exploring Nanyo.
