We travel to various prefectures and ride bicycles. Traveling via bicycle allows us a clean and healthy way to explore Japan’s rural areas. Shiga prefecture will be the destination for the fall edition of Papersky’s Tour de Nippon. The two-day events will take you through the hills and vast tea plantations of the landscape to the nostalgic town of Shigaraki, lined with kiln studios. On the way, you will meet the "Koga-style ninja,” visit producers who nurture the unique food of Koga, and experience the spirit of craftsmanship that has been passed down from generation to generation in the region. Let's go cycling in search of the people, culture, and delicious food that can be found only in Koka Shigaraki.
