The order of this list is only my idea since I live in Nakayama area. Therefore, it is free for you where you start. Please keep road etiquette and your health while going on cycling.

Anyway, this site is 'Walk in Nakayama Shimousa', then, it begins from Nakayama Hokekyoji Temple.



There are some red flowers of cluster amaryllis blooming in the site, and orange blossoms of fragrant olive stands by Ugajindo and the stone bridge connecting to Hachidai Ryuodo in Hokekyoji Temple.
Now let's start. Turn the left of the road running by the parking space opened by Ryuoike ponds in the temple, and climb up the slope to Kiorosu Kaido Highway. There is a junior high school near the end of the slope road. Then across the highway, you go into the narrow road and you find a two-lane road. Turn left the two-lane road, it descends and there is a traffic signal near the end of the slope, therefore, please go down slowly and carefully. Go down to the road a few minutes, you find Mamagawa River, you cross the river and turn right and go along the river on the west bank of it. Finding an irrigation canal flowing to the river at Sankakubashi bridge, you will turn the right and cross the river to go straight. At the end of the road, you find Shirahata Jinja Shrine on the hill.



The shrine has hundreds of red cluster amaryllises along its approach roads and a few fragrant olive trees in its site.
Now continue to go along Mamagawa River, it is safe if you go on the south bank of it. Turn the right at a bridge before Mama Elementary School and Ukishima Benzaiten Shrine and cross it, and if you turn left at the crossroad and go straight the road, you find Kamiiin Temple and Tekona Reishindo Shrine, and you go through them, you reach at the stone steps of Mamasan Guhoji Temple. Anyway,after you cross the river, and go straight the crossroad and go straight again at a forked road, you find Yoshizawa Garden Gallery there and turn the right at the forked road and climb up the slope road, you reach at Suwada Koen Park.

Going on the bank of Edogawa River to the south and you go through a tunnel under the rails of Keisei Line, and go up to the bank again, you find Ichikawabashi Bridge across the river after passing through the remains of the barrier at Ichikawa. (Don't go down the road at the flood plain along it since there are no way to climb up the bank near the bridge.) After across the bridge, soon after you go down the west bank of the river at Edogawaku to go to the south along it at its flood plain, you could see millions of red cluster amaryllises blooming on the green bank side.




The flowers blooms on it almost 2 kilometers long by the bridge across the river of Keiyo Highway. If you find the bridge, you climb up the bank and go to the north, so you could see the cluster amaryllises different passion. It is very dramatic view that there are the red flowers, green grass under the blue sky. Seeing the bridge of Sobu Line, you could find a hospital on the left and you go down the bank to the residential areas, you go to the south again and after passing the hospital, you could find Zenyoji Temple that is famous for Yoko no Matsu Pine tree that is a tremendously huge tree is a National Heritage.


There are some cluster amaryllises blooming under the pine tree and the main gate of the temple.
Let's continue the cycling, you go to the south again on the road under the bank, you will reach at the dead end, then you will turn the right and go through a narrow path before the dead end. So, you go through several houses and you turn the left the first corner of the path, you find some big trees of Shinozaki Koen Park in front of you.




Go on a north road along the outskirt of the park, you could fine dawn redwoods, behind the woods there are a lined gingko trees, and a dozen of fragrant olive trees bloom behind the gingko trees. And you could also find red cluster amaryllis flowers bloom along a path running along the east side of the park.
Now start cycling again, you go to the east from Shinozaki Koen, so you reach at Shibamata Kaido Highway. Turn to the left and go to the south on Shibamata Kaido, you find an elevated highway road of Keiyodoro Highway. Turn to the right at the crossroad under the elevated highway road and go to the east along the highway road. If you turn to the right at the forth signal of the road and you turn the left soon after turning right, now there is a large Japanese style architecture in front of you, that is Ichinoe Nanushi Yashiki. Now if you turn to the left at the signal and you go to the street by the second signal after the turning, you find a temple that is called Yakushadera means there are many graves of Kabuki Actors in it. And if you go straight at the signal and go across a bridge and cross six-lane road called Kanjo Nanago Highway, you find a big tall blue signboard that has Kanji letters on it tells Ichinoe Sakaigawa Water Park and soon after you go along its stream you find Ichinoe Makkotei Residence on your right.

If you go along the stream, finally, you reach at Shinkawa River.


Turn to the left at the river, so you go to the east and find cluster amaryllis bloom by the water of the river after near Shinkawabashi Bridge. Crossing a signal at the north of Shinkawabashi Bridge, you find Furukawa Water Park on your left.


Now, you go along the stream of Furukawa Water Park. Cross the signal and pass a red bridge, you find a small hill, there are several fragrant olive trees in front of the hill. There is a small hat on the hill, so you enjoy smelling the fragrant olive blossoms if you take a rest there. By the way, Myokoji Temple stands before the red bridge. Anyway, Yakushadera, Ichinoe Makkotei, Myouonji, Choshoji and Myokoji have some cluster amaryllis in their site.
Now you reach at the six-lane road of Kanjo Nanago Highway again, you little go down to the south and you cross the signal there, there is two roads in front of you. You go to the narrow road on the left, after you pass through an elementary school, you find Ninoe Jinja Shrine with several tall pine trees on your left, then you turn to the left at the corners of the east side of the shrine and go straight along it, and you cross a small bridge and you reach at Ninoe Myoshoji Temple.


Passing through the main gate of the temple, you find a tall fragrant olive tree there with sweet smell.
A short trip 'Let's go to see cluster amaryllis and fragrant olive blossoms by bicycle!' will be over soon. Anybody who has tried this trip with your own bicycle would go to the east along Furukawa Water Park, you will find Kyuedogawa River. Anybody who has done the trip with a sharing bicycle, you would go north along the 6 lanes road, you will reach at Ichinoe Station.
