NEW ARRIVAL
Kyoto's first! Segway at World Heritage Nijo Castle.
There are many famous tourist spots in Kyoto, one of which is Nijo Castle.
It is the first attempt to carry out the "Segway Tour", a popular activity worldwide while watching Nijo Castle, a World Heritage Site.
It is believed that Tokugawa Ieyasu built it in 1603 and the present Ninomaru Palace and the Tenshu part were made, and the third generation Tokugawa Iemitsu later built the Honmaru Palace and the Tenshukaku, and it became the present form. It is famous as the place where Keisuke Tokugawa went to Taisei.
It is a segway tour that guides you through the sights of the Ninomaru Palace, the Honmaru-don, the Seiryuen, etc. Slowly explore the castle, listen to the guide, think about the history, and sometimes stop and see the scenery, even if you are new to the scene, new visitors await new discoveries.

Flow
STEP 01
You will receive an explanation of the flow of the tour and the attractions and points of interest for this tour. Once you have learned your safety knowledge, it is Segway practice. The instructor will practice with care, so even beginners can join with confidence. Once you've finished the course, it's time to leave.
STEP 02
The guide takes the lead and starts the tour in a row. I think it will come out gradually to see the surroundings in 5 minutes from the start. If you look up at the surrounding area with your face raised, you should see a slightly different view than when walking. Feel the comfort of a Segway glide at a slow speed.
STEP 03
I listen to the story of the guide occasionally, I think about the history of Nijo Castle, and the scenery that I sometimes stop and watch is sure that Segway will carry things that I have never experienced before. It is also a good point of this tour to feel the gaze to watch the tour from the surrounding tourists.

I run slowly in the town. And move while communicating. Segway Tour in Nikko Tamagawa is a "New Traffic Safety Enlightenment Program".
