Why bicycle rentals are so popular in Okinawa
share
1. A convenient means of transportation that doesn't require a license
The biggest appeal of bicycles is that anyone can easily use them. Especially for the younger generation and those who don't have a driver's license, bicycles are the perfect tool for free transportation.
E-Charity offers a rental service focusing on electric-assist bicycles, so even beginners can ride with confidence. Since there is little strain in pedaling, it is easy to travel long distances and uphill! Even those who think "bicycle travel is tiring..." will be surprised at how comfortable it is.
It is said that by cycling you can explore three times more places efficiently than by walking.
2. Enjoy the "Okinawa-ness" that you can't experience by car
Sightseeing by car is convenient, but it can also be stressful, such as finding a parking space or getting stuck in traffic. On the other hand, bicycles allow you to easily access narrow alleys and hidden spots that are inaccessible by car.
For example, in Naha city, you can visit local shopping streets, local cafes, and historic cobblestone streets, or take a leisurely bike ride to explore the quiet beaches in the southern area and the natural beauty of the northern area to experience Okinawa on a deeper level.
3. Eco-friendly travel becomes a reality
In recent years, "sustainable tourism" that reduces the environmental impact has been attracting attention in tourist destinations. Bicycles are a zero-emission means of transportation and also help protect Okinawa's beautiful nature.
E-Charity's electric bicycles are from Japan's three major brands, so anyone can easily ride them. Cycling while feeling the sea breeze is a moment that refreshes both your mind and body.
4. Easy access to remote islands and the north by ferry
Not only on the main island of Okinawa, but also on outlying islands, there are unique ways to enjoy traveling by bicycle. E-Charity's rental bicycles can be brought on the ferry, so you can use your bicycle on beautiful outlying islands such as Tokashiki Island and Zamami Island.
See the ocean during your ferry ride, then take a leisurely bike ride to the island and explore local trails, pristine beaches and other areas that are hard to reach by car.
5. Healthy, traffic-free and comfortable travel
For people who want to stay healthy while traveling, bicycles are the perfect choice. Electrically assisted bicycles are easy for people who are not confident in their physical strength, and they allow for moderate exercise, which helps to alleviate lack of exercise.
Furthermore, the traffic jams that are unique to Okinawa during the tourist season can be a breeze with a bicycle, allowing you to travel smoothly and make the most of your limited time.
Moderate exercise can help reduce stress while traveling and refresh your mind and body.
