Our experienced guides will show you the back roads and unknown history that are unique to bicycles. ~Experience flow~ ① Meet and check in Check in at E-Charity Naha Kokusai-dori Main Store Pick up your electric bicycle and receive a brief explanation that anyone can enjoy riding safely! ② Tour starts / Shuri You can see Kannon Bodhisattva, the guardian deity of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and beautiful sculptures and decorations. The bright vermilion temple overlooks the Shuri cityscape. You will pass through the local area of Naha where a few traditional houses remain. When you arrive at the temple, which has been conveying Okinawan Buddhism for over 500 years, you will be greeted by the ancient gate and a large banyan tree. It is a powerful gate that symbolizes Okinawa. You can take a photo with your bicycle in front of the gate, which has a striking vermilion color and a well-balanced design. At the temple, which is visited by many worshippers who make pilgrimages while giving thanks for this life, such as praying for health and pregnancy, you will be captivated by the beauty of the bright red daruma dolls and torii gates. After crossing the main street and passing under the monorail that runs through the air, you will suddenly arrive at a temple with a sacred atmosphere. Rebuilt after the war, a traditional Japanese Jizo statue stands next to a relatively new building with a warm atmosphere. As you enter the nostalgic road that can only be accessed by bicycle, the scent of rice malt fills the air. The tiled factory surrounded by stone walls that survived the war makes you feel as if you have traveled back in time. This miraculous spring water was discovered when waterfowl were noticed gathering there from the deep forest. You can feel the history in the water that continues to flow without stopping. ③Omoromachi This place, which became a fierce battlefield, was once a small hill from which you could see all the way to the Kerama Islands, but now it is surrounded by buildings and apartments and quietly tells the history of the war. You can feel the fusion of the past and the present. ④Asato I ride my bicycle down the hill comfortably. The place where the kings of the Ryukyu Kingdom were enshrined is filled with pure air. It is now a park, but the stone gate and the banyan tree stretching straight up into the sky give the impression that this was once a country called the Ryukyu Kingdom. ⑤ Return your bicycle and the tour ends. After that, enjoy the city of Naha on your own.
