Bicycle Rental

This is an awesome activity to enjoy the lake, get some fresh air, and take in the views of Suwa which is one of my favorite quiet spots in Nagano.

It's a 16 kilometer ride around the lake which has a dedicated bike/footpath for rider comfort. This well-maintained route is flat and accessible, making it suitable for cyclists of all levels. Along the way, you’ll pass several notable spots, such as Akasunasaki Park, offering scenic views of the lake, and Takashima Castle, a historical site near the shore. Additionally, the area is known for its hot springs and there is a foot bath close to the rental store. It really is perfect to soak after the ride.

I have rented a bicycle here on a few occasions and they have a number of options including eBikes a very reasonable rates. The current rates should be checked on the website link.

Tip: bring a small towel to dry your feet after the soak.
