New mobility has arrived in Nikko! Electric scooters is so fun!
This is what's known as electric scooter! (Electric bike is also available.)
They lent me a cute helmet :)
Lightly... Smoothly... In the beginning was a bit scared...
The mekke Nikko Kyodo Center, located between Nikko Station and the World Heritage Site "The shrines and temples of Nikko", has introduced Nikko's first electric scooters, and I got to experience it first hand!
Not being much of an athlete, I was worried about whether I would be able to ride well, but the facility staff was kind enough to show me the ropes.
After practicing for about 5 to 10 minutes, I gradually got the hang of it and was able to ride smoothly.
At my age, there are fewer opportunities to try new things, so it's kind of fresh and fun♪
With a maximum speed of 25 km/h and a cruising range of 28 km, it is difficult to go over the Iroha slope to Oku-Nikko, but I thought it would be perfect for taking a look around temples and shrines.
In France and Italy, which are also famous tourist cities, electric scooters are being used not only by tourists but also by local residents as a new means of transportation.
Perhaps this will be the case in Nikko in years to come.
Driver's license valid in Japan is required to rent a scooter, so please don't forget to bring it with you if you wish to rent a scooter!
