Uncovering the Secrets of Kobe Beef’s Deliciousness Tour (with mountain biking)
Kobe beef is a world-renowned delicacy, but did you know that there are not actually any "Kobe cattle"? Kobe beef actually comes from Tajima cattle, which live in the northern region of Hyogo Prefecture known as Tajima. After a scenic downhill cycling tour of the area, you will get to try all 41 parts of Tajima beef! This is a one-of-a-kind activity that you can only do here!
In this tour, learn about the "miraculous four", 99.9% DNA, and the man and cows who lived under one roof. Cycle from the top of the mountain to the beautiful village Ojiro, which is the birthplace of Tajima beef and very place in which the miracle occurred. While downhill cycling, your guide will teach you about the cattle and the story of this miracle while viewing gorgeous terraced rice fields.
After hearing this miraculous story, it'll be hard to resist sharing it with all of your friends!
