Explore the pristine coast of Fukuoka in northwestern Kyushu on this 45-km e-bike tour along gentle country roads & seaside bike paths in the quiet, unspoiled countryside of the Katsuura coast.

Here, you'll meet your guide, David, an American who has made this area his home for over 25 years. His deep connection to the local culture and his love for food and cycling have inspired him to share the beauty of his home with visitors.
