Gattan Go (Former JR Fruit Line) Guide
Gattan Go: Rail Biking Adventure on the Former JR Fruit Line Guide
Experience a unique and exhilarating adventure with Gattan Go, a rail biking attraction built on the abandoned tracks of the former JR Fruit Line in Oishida. Imagine pedaling along the rails, surrounded by stunning scenery, as you explore the countryside in a whole new way. This is a perfect activity for families, couples, and anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience. The JR Fruit Line, once a vital transportation route for local produce, was eventually decommissioned. However, instead of letting the tracks fall into disrepair, the community transformed them into a unique rail biking course. "Gattan Go" refers to the "gattan gattan" sound the bikes make as they travel over the rails. This innovative reuse of the railway line provides a sustainable and engaging way to experience the natural beauty of the area. Rent a specially designed rail bike and embark on a scenic journey through tunnels, over bridges, and past lush fields. Choose from different course options to suit your fitness level and time constraints. Enjoy the fresh air, the stunning views, and the unique sensation of riding on the rails. While Gattan Go doesn't have a specific culinary offering, it's a great way to work up an appetite for the local cuisine. After your ride, explore the nearby town of Oishida and sample the region's delicious fruits and vegetables.
