To get around Kawayu-Onsen you need to have wheels, whatever form that may take. I stepped out of the Kinkiyu Hotel and a mere 20 meters away I found Ezo Riders. With my International Drivers License and Canadian-issued drivers license, I rented a 50cc scooter for the afternoon. It was a warm sunny day, so I made sure to keep my mouth shut to prevent any springtime bugs from flying down my windpipe. For around $25 U.S. Dollars I was able to thoroughly enjoy my day zipping about the countryside while being treated to spectacular views such as the undisturbed Lake Mashu of Akan National Park.
