Bicycle rim to lower Suwa fans
Became a fan of Shimosuwa town because of bicycles、Comes to town about once a month、Some people enjoy cycling around Lake Suwa。Mr. Yuichi Toshiba, professor at Chiba Institute of Technology (61)Yachiyo City, Chiba = is that person。The exhilarating nature that cuts through the wind and the majestic air of Suwa Taisha、I like the atmosphere of the post town、Toward development of a stay-type town where seniors can enjoy、Expectations are also high for the lake circumference cycling road development project promoted by the prefecture。
Mr. Toshiba learned about Shimosuwa about three years ago.。Mr. Toshiha, who loves the bicycles of the American manufacturer Cannondale,、Looking for a handmade model with a carbon frame in the company、After being introduced by a manufacturer, I arrived at the specialty shop Cyclist Massawa (manager: Heikichi Matsuzawa) in Higashitakano-cho.。When I looked it up on the internet, I found out that it was the Onbashira Festival town that I had seen on TV.、Looking back, he didn't know what Shimosuwa was like at the time.。
Legendary model no longer in production。Mr. Toshiha was overjoyed when he saw one of the cars left in the store as stock.、several months until assembly、I went to Shimosuwa to check the finish。I was introduced to Minatoya Ryokan (Tatemachi) as a place to stay.、I was moved to learn that this inn was used by literary critic Hideo Kobayashi and painter Taro Okamoto, who were fans of the hotel.。The hospitality of the inn that became a regular lodging、I like the atmosphere of the townscape where the remnants of Suwanito River and the old post town remain.、Every time I visit, the number of acquaintances increases and my attachment gradually increases.。
even after completion、Leave your bicycle at the store and ask for maintenance、I use it to run Suwa。I also own an aluminum frame model from the same manufacturer at my home in Chiba.、Chiba has many cars.、It is said that it is difficult to run except in the early morning。"It's easy to run around Lake Suwa.、You can enjoy the goodness of a bicycle that can be one with nature。It will refresh your tired head."、Enjoying “two-region cycling” in different environments。
I love Suwa、Last year, as one of the parishioners, I participated in the tug-of-war in Takano-cho.。Down the Kootoshizaka, which I had only seen on video, with a local flag bearer、I was even more impressed。“The bonds between people that were talked about a lot during the Tohoku earthquake、The essential thing that originally existed in Japan、I feel like I'm left in Suwa。i like nara too、Shimosuwa is strangely not touristy like Nara。Passionate and enterprising while respecting tradition。visit many times、stay、It's a town that you can fully enjoy only by visiting every nook and corner."。
According to cyclist Massawa, maintenance of cycling roads for stay-type tourism、Recently, overseas travelers who have established a bicycle culture stop by the store、There are cases where you want to rent a road bike。Mr. Toshiba、Surrounded by mountains, Lake Suwa is surrounded by scenery that retains old things, and is described as "like a Japanese garden."、He said that the distance is suitable for cycling。"You can't understand the goodness of Shimosuwa just by coming here for some reason.。We should increase the number of people who want to come to Shimosuwa.”、Lake circumference cycling road maintenance、Pointed out the possibility of promoting stay-type tourism。
