Niigata Prefecture is promoting the certification of “cyclist-friendly lodgings” for bicycle enthusiasts. In the Joetsu area, a total of four accommodations in Joetsu City and Myoko City have been certified.
The “Cyclist Friendly Inn” certification program was launched in July to encourage cyclists to stay longer in Niigata Prefecture, provide them with opportunities to experience the charms of the region, and increase the satisfaction of cyclists visiting Niigata.
According to the prefecture, as of the end of August, 10 facilities have met the requirements and have been certified. The certified accommodations can store bicycles, lend airing and repair tools, provide temporary baggage storage, and offer parcel delivery and shipping services.
