A Scenic Ride With Bicycle Ambassador for Fukui Prefecture!　Wakasa Bay Cycling Route WAKA-CYCLE

Cycling Around the Japanese Countryside 🚴

The Wakasa Bay Cycling Route (Waka-Cycle) connects Tsuruga Station to Wakasa Takahama Station in Fukui Prefecture, Japan.
In this short film, Fukui’s Bicycle Ambassador Yasuharu Nakajima will guide you through the cycling route’s highlights!

Tsuruga-Wakasa is full of stunning scenery, including the Wakasa Bay, where you can admire the deep blue sea and light blue sky at every turn of the road, sparkling white sandy beaches, and the Five Lakes of Mikata, of different water quality and depth, and thus, of five different shades of blue!

How about a fun bike ride around town to discover your own favorite places in Tsuruga-Wakasa?
