cultural/historical bike tour of Gifu City, May 24th

It's that time of year again! AJET is sponsoring a cultural/historical bike tour of Gifu City. This tour will take you to some of the lesser known sites in the city, giving you the opportunity to discover that there is more to the area than cormorant fishing, Gifu Castle and fireworks.

This year's tour will focus on shrines and temples in the area. Sure, alot of them seem exactly the same, but it starts to get interesting when you realize that some shrines sleep around, some temples were stolen, and they all have little secrets.

What: Gifu City Bike Tour
When: 12:00pm~2:00pm, May 24, 2008 (Saturday)
Where: Meet at Vie de France (JR Gifu Station)
Cost: FREE* (temples and shrines are free to enter)


*If you need to rent a bike, it will cost 100yen for the day. You can rent bikes at JR Gifu Station, though, so don't hesitate to participate.

Also, space is not limited, but I would like to have an idea of how many people will be coming. So, if you're interested, just send me an e-mail to gifu_ajet@yahoo.com. Thanks!
