Couple Traveller

Kei led us on an enchanting ride on a bike path built along a defunct train track that borders the Yamakuni river. The craggy mountains rising on each side, with crashing flumes of water pouring off the slopes, and makeshift gardens next to rice paddies next to the river. Kei told us about the geology, the unique local delicacies such as kabosu fruit. He is a fun guy to chat with and he knows the area very well. It was a great day trip.
