The Experience
Before You Go
Charge and check battery
Confirm the Miyata e-bike battery is full before departure and learn assist modes — range varies with assist level and rider weight.
Hydrate and refill
Carry at least one liter of water and plan to top up at café stops; summer humidity increases fluid needs.
Sun and wind protection
Bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a light windproof layer; coastal gusts can chill during late-afternoon returns.
Respect narrow roads
Ride single-file on narrow coastal lanes and yield to local traffic and agricultural vehicles.

Conservation Note
Coastal erosion and sea-level pressure make staying on designated paths important; support the local economy by buying from the soy sauce brewery and packing out all waste.
Sakurai Shrine commemorates a locally venerated stone deity uncovered in the early 1600s; Futamigaura’s twin islets are tied to local marriage folklore and marked by a shimenawa rope.
