By Bicycle

The Hakusan Tedorigawa Geopark is a great place for cycling. There are two main cycling paths, the Hakusan Tedori River Route (a branch of the Ishikawa Satoyama Satoumi Track), and the Tedori Canyon Road. The Hakusan Tedori River Route is a long path over 100km in length that follows the Tedori River from the Matto coastline all the way to Hakusan Ichirino Onsen in the mountains, and back. The Tedori Canyon Road is an almost 20km section of the Hakusan Tedori River Route that goes from Tsurugi to Sena in the mountains. Cycling is also a great way to get around and see all the sites that Tsurugi has to offer.
