Approximately 200 Somei Yoshino cherry trees line the banks of the Shinkawa River, which flows east-west through Tsuchiura City, creating a 2km-long row of cherry trees. The water bicycles offer excellent stability even in waves and wind, allowing for a comfortable water cycling experience. With a cruising speed of about 10km/h, you can slowly make your way through the tunnel of cherry blossoms. Furthermore, just like a regular bicycle, you can change direction by turning the handlebars, allowing you to smoothly navigate the water.
Action cameras and 360° cameras are available for rent, allowing you to capture unique videos from the water under the tunnel of cherry blossoms blooming on both banks of the Shinkawa River. Capture dynamic footage surrounded by cherry blossoms from various angles. Film each other with friends and create unforgettable memories.
The new “Sakura Chill Shake” will further enhance your enjoyment of Cherry Blossom Viewing Water Cycling. Before heading out for hanami, try your hand at making a shake with the “Fender Blender,” a bicycle with a mixer, at the hotel. The “Sakura Chill Shake” is a fruit-based drink with banana, strawberry, and other fruits, accented with a cherry blossom flavor. Finish it off by scattering shaved chocolate, designed to look like cherry blossom petals, as a topping. You can take your finished shake with you to enjoy during your hanami.
