SAITO CITY CYCLING MAP

Excite All Your Senses on a
Ride Through Saito
As society begins to pay more attention to healthy andenvironmentally friendly lifestyles, bicycles are often the subjectof discussion.
In Saito City, not only are there few cars on the road and plentyof flat areas to ride, but the old Tsuma Line train tracks have also
been converted into a dedicated cycling road.
All of this comes together to make the city a great fit for cycling.
Saito City was also once the home to the capital of ancient Hyuga.
As such, it offers plenty to see, be it locations found in the loreof the Kojiki (“Records of Ancient Matters”) and Nihonshoki(“Chronicles of Japan”), or the Saitobaru Burial Mounds, anancient burial site of a size unmatched anywhere in Japan.
Why not take this map along with you on your ride around Saito?
