This part of the ride was my favorite, as it was fairly flat, had great architecture to keep your interest all along the way, had almost no traffic, and the parts were You had to be up on the major road There was usually a bike path, even if the bike path was on the opposite side of the road.A couple of the sections are straight and flat through Rice fields, mostly is through residential neighborhoods. There are also views of Mount Iwaki off to the south.
