Q&A

​Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you have insurance?
    Insurance with red TS mark Injuries of less than 15 days are not covered by insurance. In addition, some commercially available bicycle insurance covers a wide range of coverage, so if you are concerned, please complete the enrollment procedure yourself.
  • What should I do if I get a puncture on the way?
    In the event of punctures or other failures during use, the customer will be responsible for repairs. In that case, please contact our shop. Affiliated bicycle shops (Takemura Shoten 077-562-0866) are also available. There is also a bicycle loading service called Biwaichi Rescue by a taxi company in the prefecture. For details, please contact each taxi company.
  • Will I be charged a cancellation fee even if it rains on the reservation date?
    In the case of a typhoon or rain that does not issue a warning, the usual cancellation fee will be charged. In case of cancellation, please contact us at least 2 days before the start of use.
  • I'm worried that I won't get lost. Need a map or navigation?
    It would be more convenient to have a map. Let's check the place to run in advance!

    Beverages and a first aid kit (regular medications, etc.). We recommend that you bring portable food and rain gear (kappa, etc.) in case of emergency.
  • What kind of clothes do you like?
    We recommend using stretchy material for the lower body. Layering your upper body makes it easier to adjust the temperature. We also recommend wearing gloves to prevent injury in the event of a fall, and sunglasses to protect your eyes from flying insects while riding.

If you get sick on the way, or if you get a flat tire or break down, we also offer the following services.
