A bell from a small shrine dips through cold mountain air as you push off on an electric bike and follow narrow lanes where wooden houses keep their faces to the street. The river to your right hurries like a curiosity, pulling you toward Tonomachi Street’s low-slung merchants, then up the gradual slope toward Tsuwano Shrine and cedar-shadowed tracks.

A bell from a small shrine dips through cold mountain air as you push off on an electric bike and follow narrow lanes where wooden houses keep their faces to the street. The river to your right hurries like a curiosity, pulling you toward Tonomachi Street’s low-slung merchants, then up the gradual slope toward Tsuwano Shrine and cedar-shadowed tracks.
Tsuwano retained much of its Edo-period layout; the town’s Hyakkeizu—the One Hundred Sceneries—are a set of late-Edo paintings recognized today as Japan Heritage. Rolling hills of Shimane shape the horizons here, and the stone lanterns, horse tracks for the Yabusame ritual, and a 1,000‑year cedar mark layers of feudal history visible at a neighborhood scale.
On this roughly three-hour guided ride you’ll cycle Tonomachi’s main avenue, visit shrine precincts, slip into less-traveled lanes to a hidden waterfall, and pause for short meditative breaks while your guide explains local stories tied to the Hyakkeizu paintings and former domain lords. The e-bike assists make the route approachable for most riders, but there are cobbles, short rises, and single-lane roads that demand attention.
Practical notes: rides run in small groups (max six), bikes and a guide are included, and the operator requests height and weight for bike setup. Bring a filled water bottle, comfortable closed-toe shoes, layered clothing for damp mornings, and a camera with spare battery—the town rewards slow, curious travel. Arrive by public transport or drive; allow time to lock up your belongings and leave room on your itinerary for a quiet cup of tea after the tour.
