Enjoying Hakuba Komichi

The Hakuba Komichi is a road which joins beautiful locations within the village. The road divides the village into five courses, each of about 10 km, and which include unpaved sections. There are many ways to enjoy the Hakuba Komichi as you ride, savouring the fresh breeze and calm scenery, including stopping occasionally between the rice fields to do some landscape painting, or photography. Otherwise you can just follow the signposts and take in the nature you encounter along the way.
