New Photo Frame has been installed at the ruins of Mikobata former mine and ore processing facility (神子畑選鉱場跡)

Designated as a national heritage site, it has a lot of history that forms part of the Road of Ores which is part of Japan's first industrialised roads during the Meiji period. As part of our Road of Ores tour you can too see this site and learn more about it's history.

The frame has a bicycle hanger. If you visit the site by your own bike, then feel free to take a complimentary photo of your trip.

Special cycle tour for two brilliant people who are professional Japanese accupuncturist. During this tour I also learned a lot from them. It's amazing how even the silver from Ikuno mine made its way into traditional hand crafted accupuncture needles. So much history.

Asago_Cycling provided it's original created cycling tour for the ATS (Asago Travel & Stay packaged tours) FAM Trip in Ikuno town. Paired with accomodation at Ikuno Stay イクノステイ and other activities such as visiting a local farm to harvest fresh vegetables and eating dinner with the farmer and his wife who prepared delicious dinner from locally sourced ingredients including from their own farm.

It was a bit of a rainy day, but the weather provided unique lighting conditions that beautifully highlighted the natural scenery of the region. We were even lucky enough to see a rainbow and take some photos of it. Seeing the Bantan train up close was another unique experience for our guests.

Feedback was highly appreciated from the guests and I look forward to implement their advice in future tours. From next year Asago Cycling is looking forward to expand its horizons and services in other regions.

2023 Road of Ores Cycling Autumn Festival. Part 2.

From Ikuno town we disembarked on the historical road of ores route to reach the Mikobata former ore processing plant and ruins. In between we passed through several towns and saw a various Mikoshi (Portable shrines) along the way.

Participants engaged with locals and a very kind community member invited us all to drink tea in her lovely home. Along the course, participants were introduced to remnants from Asago city's former mining industry such as the Habuchi cast iron bridge.

At Mikobata former ore processing facility, Yamauchi-san provided a detailed explanation of the history to everyone.

In Habuchi we were invited to watch Shishimai (Lion Dance) at a local shrine. We were given front row seats and felt very special. It was a great privilege.

Finally we stopped at our Cycling Station to enjoy conversation and coffee together.

Had a very fun and adventurous E-Bike tour with customers from Poland 🇵🇱

On a rainy day they were able to see majestic views of the countryside that come alive on such occasions.

We cycled from Ikuno town to Mikobata former mine and now ruins of a former ore processing facility. Along the way we saw Japan's old cast iron bridge and everyday life of local residents in Japan. Finally we stopped at our Cycling Station to enjoy some coffee and conversation.

Designed by
Cyclist bicycle hanger and bench designed for Asago city and placed in front of Ikuno Silver Mine.

Made from 6mm satin finished stainless steel. It's a very sturdy bench that is bolted to a concrete floor that won't rust and withstand outdoor weather conditions.

The two figures on each side holding the bicycles are a modern and simple interpretation representing the miners that used to work in the mine with their mining hats on their heads. Now they support your bicycle and hold it up for you. A cut out feature under the name 'Ikuno Ginzan' shows the famous entrance to the mine tunnel.

When you visit Ikuno Silver Mine, be sure the checkout the bench, have a seat and if you're a cyclist, let the miners carry your bicycle for a moment.
