Hakuba bike tour
Shiroumarenpo (白馬連峰) in the distance with the Matsu River to the right of the bike path
If you are in Japan in October or early November you may want to consider heading to Hakuba for a canoe/biking tour. The place is empty this time of year as nearly all of the summer hikers are gone and the winter skiers have yet to arrive. However, the colors are fantastic and not to be missed.
