A railbike is a vehicle that is pedaled along metal tracks in a way similar to a bicycle. Originally, these track maintenance ‘railroad bicycles’ were used for special events, but now there are various attractions throughout the world that make use of disused railways in this way. The Odate to Kosaka Railbike experience in Akita prefecture takes around 30 to 40 minutes. The attraction is usually open from late April to early November. For a rare opportunity to try out an unusual sport, or just to get in a good cycle, the Odate to Kosaka Railbike experience is sure to be a fun time.
