Gyroride 30 minutes with experience Overview

Located in Nasushiobara City (about 20 minutes by car from our hotel), Gyro Ride Park Nasu is an experience park specializing in electric three-wheeled motorcycle "gyro Ride".

The feeling of running smoothly in the snow scenery while cutting the wind is a new winter activity experience that is different from skiing and zip lines.

After the experience, you can enjoy a stylish outdoor cafe time as well as the warmth of the bonfire on the glamping terrace attached to the gyro ride course. (Café menu is not included in the plan. It will be charged separately.
