Have fun day at Lake Yanaka, which is the only dam set on flat ground in Japan. We will rent the city bikes at the destination and enjoy cycling around the heart- shaped lake leisurely. First, we will ride a bike around 10 km along Watarase river to the very popular Ramen shop. Gain energy and ride back to Lake Yanaka and semi-circle the lake till we reach our goal. This is a relatively flat course and mostly vehicle free but we do recommend riders have these basic skills & abilities; ride up and down mild inclines, ride for 30 minutes between breaks and 2.5 hours total, navigate between or around basic obstacles, negotiate u-turns, and be comfortable riding in close proximity to other path users such as cyclists, runners, and walkers.
