Tsushima Electric Bike Rental Begins!

For those planning their first trip to Tsushima,
most of you probably share similar worries.
“Rental cars feel like a hassle…”
“Buses are hard to time right…”
“Walking? Not sure about my stamina…”
“What if I rent a bike and it ends up being too tiring?”
Especially for a day trip to Hitakatsu, Tsushima,
the desire to see as much as possible in a short amount of time
and the anxiety of not wanting to spoil your precious travel time
both tend to grow simultaneously.
That's why many travelers ponder these choices right up until their departure.
Many end up renting electric bicycles,
but once they hit the numerous hills, they often find themselves regretting it.
But exciting news has just reached me, and I couldn't wait to share it with you!
It's the launch of Tsushima's very first electric bike rental service!
01. What People Fear Most on a Tsushima Trip
Honestly, what's truly scary on a Tsushima day trip
isn't getting lost or the language barrier.
“It's being so much more exhausting than you anticipated,
that your travel 'vibe' completely collapses.”
That's the real stress.
Tsushima, surprisingly, has quite a few hills,
and even around Hitakatsu, distances can feel surprisingly far if you're only walking.
At first, you might think,
“I'll just ride a bike, get some exercise in too, why not?”
but then,
when the actual travel day arrives,
your legs start giving out on the hills,
you're sweating,
your energy plummets,
your time estimates get messed up,
and the thought of the return journey starts stressing you out.
From that moment on, your trip isn't about relaxation anymore;
it transforms into nothing but ‘traveling labor.’
02. Ultimately, What Travelers Really Want: “Comfortable Freedom”
On a Tsushima trip, rental cars offer convenience, but
the right-hand drive can be daunting.
Taxis aren't flexible,
buses force you to stick to a schedule,
and even electric bicycles still demand some physical effort.
But deep down, most travelers actually want
“comfortable yet completely free movement.”
Don't you agree?
Stopping at any beach that catches your eye,
exploring charming alleyways you discover,
pausing for a break at a quaint cafe,
and instantly stopping anywhere you feel inspired to take a photo.
That's exactly the kind of feeling brought to life by
Tsushima's first electric bikes.
03. Why It's Recommended for Anyone Worried About a Tiring Tsushima Bike Trip
While regular electric bicycles are often called comfortable,
you still have to keep pedaling, which means
thigh fatigue can set in quicker than you'd expect.
But with an electric bike,
the pedaling effort is significantly reduced,
and you can navigate hills with ease,
“Wow… Tsushima travel could be this comfortable?!”
That feeling of satisfaction will truly hit you in a big way.
Since motorcycles aren't commonly seen on Tsushima,
you might not imagine electric bikes would be an option,
but behold, such a wonderful new world is opening up! ^^
04. The Real Reason for Such High Satisfaction
Just like the review in the photo,
“I remember renting a regular electric bike before and finding it too strenuous, but this time it was absolutely the best!”
there's a clear reason for such an enthusiastic response.
Typically, on a Tsushima day trip,
bike rentals are the most popular choice.
With a short itinerary, you need to move quickly,
but the travel time itself can be exhausting and feel wasted.
Miuda Beach, which is just a 10-minute drive by car,
can take over 30 minutes if you're traveling by bicycle.
But with an electric bike,
you can easily make that journey in about 15 minutes.
The more travel time you save,
the more sights you can explore,
and the more time you'll have to linger at tourist attractions and shopping spots.
This really adds to your travel time, doesn't it?
That's why, for a trip to Tsushima,
instead of simply opting for the cheapest way to get around,
a choice that makes you less tired,
gives you more freedom,
saves time as well,
and even elevates your overall travel satisfaction,
seems to be the option that truly calls to you.
05. Tsushima Electric Bike: Key Features
Ride without pedaling
Smartphone mount and charging capability
Convenient luggage basket provided
Reduces effort on uphill climbs
Can be ridden on roads and sidewalks
Adjustable saddle height
Switch between Car Mode / Pedestrian Mode
Especially, the smartphone charging function is a game-changer.
On a day trip, when you're navigating with maps
and snapping photos, your battery often runs out,
leaving you with a low battery often.
So for avid photographers and videographers like myself,
it's an absolute must-have!

spots fill up incredibly fast, so

it's a place where you can truly soak in the unique atmosphere and charm of a quaint Japanese town.

Regular electric bicycles require continuous pedaling, leading to quicker thigh fatigue. In contrast, electric bikes significantly reduce the burden of pedaling. They are especially convenient for uphill travel, allowing you to reach Miuda Beach in just 15 minutes, a journey that would take over 30 minutes on a regular bicycle, thus saving travel time.
Tsushima electric bikes allow you to ride without pedaling and come equipped with a smartphone holder, charging function, and a cargo basket. They also reduce the effort needed for uphill climbs, can be ridden on both roads and sidewalks, feature adjustable seat height, and offer switchable 'Car Mode' and 'Walk Mode'.
The rental location is the Hatatsubatago Rent-a-Car branch near Hitakatsu Port, just a 3-minute walk after disembarking from the ferry. Reservations are made on the Naver reservation page by selecting your desired usage date, electric bike product, and quantity, followed by payment.
Tsushima electric bikes support 'Car Mode' and 'Walk Mode'. Car Mode offers a maximum speed of 20km/h, convenient for uphill climbs or long-distance travel. Walk Mode has a maximum speed of 6km/h, suitable for crowded alleys or when you want to move slowly. You can switch modes by holding the brake and pressing the 'M' button.
