E-BIKE

The Futamigaura area on the Itoshima Peninsula is full of attractions such as beautiful seaside scenery, fantastic sunsets and fashionable cafés lining the streets.
While the area is bustling with activity, many visitors use cars, which can cause traffic congestion on weekends and consecutive holidays.

In order to solve the traffic problem and promote sightseeing around the area, Fukuoka City is renting out electrically assisted sports bicycles called ‘E-BIKE’.

It can travel up to 130 km on a three-hour charge, making it possible to circumnavigate the Itoshima Peninsula. With an assist function for speeds of up to 24 km/h, it can also make light work of climbing mountain roads. Why not enjoy the natural beauty of the Itoshima Peninsula by bike?

Fee: 3,300 yen/2 hours or 5,500 yen/one day
*Options available, including manned guides
