25 July
After picking up a couple rental bikes from the hotel, we head out on the recommended loop around the river valley.
At this point we cross the long red bridge to the other side...it's provided with bicycle lanes separated from the traffic, on both sides of the bridge...
The trail feels nicely remote during much of the loop...
The turn-around point for the river loop is a popular river restaurant specializing in river unagi (eel).
From river...
...to table. Again, a very oishi meal (tasty food).
Our bellies full, we head for home (or, uh, the hotel).
