Oku Nikko E-Bike Trip (Nikko Natural Science Museum)

Explore the natural beauty and rich history of Oku-Nikko, including its past as a popular international summer resort, on a leisurely bike ride.

Nikko Natural Science Museum offers self-guided cycling tours that allow you to fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Oku-Nikko.

Riding an electric assist bicycle (e-bike) and using an exclusively designed navigation device, you can explore pre-planned routes for each tour. While there are no guides, you can enjoy cycling privately with your family or friends. This option is recommended for those who prefer to explore freely, including stops for dining and shopping.

We offer a variety of routes including cafe hopping, exploring the history of Nikko, cycling on quiet paved forest roads closed to general traffic, and even hiking. Our e-bikes make hill climbing effortless.

If you’re visiting Oku-Nikko, be sure to join us!

*Please note that departure and arrival points vary depending on the tour.

Tours depart from both “Nikko Natural Science Museum” and “Akanuma Nature Information Center”, so please be sure to check your designated meeting point.

Nikko Area

The Nikko area, in the northwestern part of the prefecture, is particularly mountainous. In the midst of the rich nature, including the 2,486-meter-high volcano Mt. Nantai, Lake Chuzenji, and Kegon Falls, there are numerous shrines and temples that are registered as UNESCO Cultural Heritage sites. From Kinugawa Onsen to Kawaji Onsen, hot springs can also be found throughout the area. There are a wide range of outdoor activities to enjoy as well, such as stand-up paddleboarding in the summer and snowshoeing in the winter.
