☆We held a cycling event☆
Minamishimabara is aiming to become a “cycling-friendly city” and is on its way to complete the cyclo-pedestrian path.
More than 300 participants took part in the first event dedicated to cyclist “Tour de Minamishimabara” held on
March 23rd 2025年3月23日!
The completed parts of the cyclo-pedestrian path were also included and we received many positive comments about it, such as “It is definitely better to cycle with no cars around, and the scenery is so beautiful”♪
At the aid stations we set up, participants could also enjoy local specialties such as “Shimabara hand-stretched somen”, fish cake and other sweets: even the participants’ belly had the chance to enjoy the event! (Check the
city HP for more details!)
We are planning one other round of the “Tour de Minamishimabara” for the next fiscal year!
Cyclist from all over the country, assemble!
