A view from Rinku Park

From “sano no yado”, we recommend a course that takes you along the refreshing coastline overlooking Kansai International Airport while visiting “Sano Machiba,” which retains the atmosphere of the Edo period, and fishing ports.
From “Gomon no yado”, how about a course that takes you further away from Eiraku Dam and Okuyama Ameyama Nature Park to enjoy the natural beauty of Mizumadera Temple in Kaizuka City and Izumikatsuragi Mountain on the border with Wakayama Prefecture?
Each course offers a unique cycling experience.
