Mozufuru Bicycle Rentals
Bicycles are a convenient way to explore Sakai, Habikino, and Fujidera. The three cities grew up between the ancient kofun burial mounds of the Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group. The Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019.
Public transportation to the tombs is limited, but the area is extremely bike friendly, with broad pavements along the main roads and plenty of bicycle parking. This is due in part to the cycling components company Shimano, which is based in Sakai.
Mozufuru Bicycle Rental offers electric bicycles and bike helmets for rent at three locations near the main clusters of kofun. The bike rental fee is ¥1,000 for the whole day, or \500 if the bikes are picked up and dropped off at the same location. No reservations are required, just photo identification. Maps with suggested routes and itineraries are also available and include information on dining, shopping, and other attractions, like the Sakai Risho no Mori museum, the Sakai City Museum, Fujidera Temple, Domyoji Tenmangu Shrine, and Konda Hachimangu Shrine.
