Ina Valley refers to the entire basin stretching along the Tenryu River that flows through the southern part of Nagano Prefecture. This basin, bordered by the Central Alps to the west and the Southern Alps to the east, is blessed with a culture rooted in the mountains. It offers panoramic views, moderate ups and downs and is perfect for all sorts of outdoor pursuits from trail riding by bicycle to gravel riding, trekking, trail running, and mountain stream fishing. It is a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts and has played host to a nascent bicycle movement in the past couple of years. A notable MTB park has opened in the area, and an organization has emerged to conserve the area for future generations while carving out trails for their own riding. Bicycles aside, the abundant&nbsp;<em>satoyama<\/em>&nbsp;lifestyle fashioned by creators with their own unique aesthetic sense is fast gaining attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00122-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00122-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00122-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00122-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00122-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00122.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Beyond the Ina Valley, the Chuo Alps loom large amongst the clouds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00002-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00002-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00002-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00002-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00002-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00002.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Stowing bikes onto the GMLVAN C-01\u2019s cycle carrier.

Kamoshika Cidre is a cidery in Ina that employs the painstaking Champagne method (a technique that produces delicate bubbles through secondary fermentation in the bottle rather than by adding carbon dioxide gas). &#8220;Perfect for grilled pork dishes and equally suitable for BBQs. Ciders are surprisingly easy to pair with any dish,&#8221; enthuses Kohei Irikura of Kamoshika Cidre. They are currently developing flavored ciders using blueberries and blackcurrants, and this fall they plan to start preparing apple brandy using a distiller brought in from the Cognac region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00017-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61649\" width=\"827\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00017-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00017-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00017-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00017-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00017.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><figcaption>With moderate ups and downs and unpaved roads, the area around Ina City is ideal for gravel bikes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00159-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00159-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00159-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00159-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00159-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00159.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00166-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00166-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00166-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00166-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00166-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/GM_INA_2022_00166.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>&#8220;Forest Trails&#8221; holds rides and maintains trails in Tatsuno town. Their activities draw a wide range of ages from junior high school students to people in their 60s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our final destination was the town of Tatsuno, located at the northernmost tip of the Ina Valley. Here, moves are afoot to develop desolate woodlands into a zone where people can let loose. Leading this initiative is &#8220;Forest Trails,&#8221; a voluntary collective of local mountain bikers. &#8220;Once a month, we clear out the brush and thin the forest in areas where we have permission from the owner of the mountain, and then ride the trails,&#8221; explains Motoyoshi Takeuchi, one of the group\u2019s founding members. In addition to selling logs, they also process surplus timber it into building materials at a local sawmill and cultivate log&nbsp;<em>shiitake<\/em>&nbsp;mushrooms. In doing so, they aim to realize a system in which people and nature can coexist in a better way by harnessing the bounty of the forests. Their endeavors have won recognition, with the local community now requesting them to thin the forest and preserve the environment. This new style of &#8220;maintain and play&#8221; seems likely to spread out further from here. \u201cSandwiched between the two Alps ranges, the Ina Valley is not only blessed with a variety of playing places, but also functions as a horizontal link in a zone that is long and narrow from north to south.&nbsp;It\u2019s fair to say that biking culture has taken root because of the way &#8220;CLAMP&#8221; has catalyzed these connections.&#8221; (Noriake Akahane of \u201cForest Trails\u201d)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"last\">A treasure-trove of outdoor fun, the Ina Valley is a place where both van life and cycle trips can be savored seamlessly. Load up your bikes, hammocks, and outdoor coffee set, and hit the road to find your very own slice of paradise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns cols-image is-layout-flex
