(Second Part)Let’s go to a Ikeda mountain such as a great mountain in this region by bike!!

Hello there, today, I would like to talk about how to get to Ikeda mountain by bike.

First of all, you will arrive at Ikeda onsen that is next to the base of the mountain.

This facility consists of several restaurants, cafes, souvenirshops, hotsprings and accommodations.

That’s why, you must be happy to come to this facility for trip.

Climb to the mountain.

If you climb to the mountain, you must buy a bottle of juce from the shop.

Because, it’s too long to climb without a bottle of drink.

Generally speaking, you have to climb at least 1 hour.

You have to climb at least about 10 km and 800 m high.

First of all, the road conditions are detariorating.

That’s why, you must be careful to climb the mountain.

Eventually, you can see a nice view of the city from the mountain path.

There will be a lot of changeble slope.

Eventually, you can see the area of palagliding.

The view is definitely breathtaking.

The mountain is 924 m high.

The areas is almost 900 m high.

If you have fortun, you can see paragliding.

As a matter of fact, the top of the mountain path is over there.

You have to climb at reast several km from here to get the top of the mountain path.

If you can see a unique view spot, this point must be a top of the mountain path.

You can see a great mountain called “Ibuki Yama” that is 1,377 m high from here clearly.

You can see also great lake called “Biwako” that is the most huge lake in Japan.

If you can get the top of the mountain, you can climb on foot to get the top of the mountain.

You should pay at least 200 yen to get the mountain path to the top.

It takes around 15 minutes from here to the top of the mountain on foot.

There is a small house on the mountain.

This point is 924 m high and top of the mountain called “Ikeda yama”.

When I arrived at the place, there were a lot of great wind.

If you want to climb in fall and winter, you should wear the appropriate attire to avoid a sick.

Get home

I could get the top of the mountan, but I have to get home safely.

While I get home, I had several great picture.

You can see the great castle called “Gifu castle” and take a great sweets.

You can get a ice sweets

The cold sweets is great taste and sweet flaver.

Japanese traditional sweets don’t have much oil and fat.

That’s why, those foods are good for cyclists as you know.
