(English) Komatsu Rental Bicycle
[:en]One of the best ways to explore the abundant nature and culture of Komatsu is by bike.
With Komatsu’s day rental bicycles, you can do just that!
Conveniently check-out a bike from Komatsu Station, Awazu Station or Ataka, and return it by evening at any of the three stops! Awazu Onsen also provides bikes for visitors to take a spin around the romantic onsen town and surrounding wilderness.
What’s more, we have just revamped the service to provide detailed information on sites to see and rest stops (read: food stops), so read on to find out more!
