UNZEN Volcano Adventure-Journey of Water-

Recommended points

Learn while experiencing a 400m elevation difference using an e-bike

Experience the "water cycle" created by volcanoes in a complete 5-hour experience.

Enjoy the bounty of the volcano through locally produced meals

Immerse yourself in the five senses with cycling that traces the memories of water

This journey by electric-assist bicycle (E-bike) is not merely a means of transportation, but an experience of becoming one with the pulse of nature. The pure breeze caressing your skin, the moist scent emanating from the forest, and the ceaseless sound of flowing water. Sharpening your five senses, you will effortlessly melt into the landscape.

Unnamed springs and the fresh, vibrant moss along the roadside are things you might miss in an instant by car. But it's the leisurely pace unique to e-bikes that allows you to carefully capture each and every detail of the delicate scenery created by the water cycle.

Furthermore, choosing clean transportation that produces no exhaust fumes is a declaration of intent to pass on this beautiful environment to future generations. Respecting the natural environment of the land and becoming a part of its cycle—we propose a sustainable travel style filled with such intellectual fulfillment.

A sacred place of tranquility and regeneration nestled in the "source of water" created by a volcano

Climbing the stone steps one by one, through a curtain of sunlight filtering through the trees, you find yourself surrounded by the sounds of birdsong, rustling leaves, and an overwhelming silence that envelops everything.

Nestled amidst a massive rock, the Iwato Shrine stands firm. This is not simply a place where time stands still. Rather, it is a place where one can feel the "stirrings of time," as droplets filtered by a volcano over unimaginable ages finally emerge onto the surface.

The pure water flowing down the rocky surface eventually becomes a great river, embarking on a cyclical journey that flows into the sea. As we stand at the starting point, we are reminded that we are part of nature's workings, and we experience a sense of "renewal" that quietly cleanses our minds and bodies.

The distance and elevation difference of each course varies depending on the volcano, so the difficulty level also varies. The Council introduces a wide range of courses, from gentle walking courses for beginners to trekking routes that require more strenuous walking for intermediate and advanced hikers.
