Notes on The Kunisaki Heritage Tour

Mama Chari is the name of a style of bicycle. It is a shopping bike, generally with three speeds, a basket on front and a small platform on back. Anyone can ride a Chari. For the Kunisaki tour, this type of bike is very suitable as it is casual, gentle and comfortable to ride. The bike is included in the tour price!

Seasonal conditions and booking availability may cause changes in accommodations or itinerary organization. The order of day's events may be changed to suit member travel plans and availability of accommodations. Weather may also influence daily events, as some hike trails are not suitable for travel during heavy rain or winds.
