Hi all,
We're planning a short trip to Iwate, and specifically, we want to base ourselves in Ichinoseki for a couple of days, with visits to Hiraizumi and other nearby places. At the moment, we're unsure if we'll be able to rent a car and drive, so, we're planning based on public transportation only.
We have a toddler who may not be willing to walk long distances. Hence, I was wondering if anyone has experience renting a bicycle with a child seat? I found some posts here and there about renting bicycles in the area (which seem easy enough), but I couldn't find any info on renting bicycles that are equipped with child seats. Has anyone managed to rent such bicycles and will be able to share the location/name of the shop? Do the shops also rent helmets, esp for children?
In addition, how easy would it be to bring a stroller and visit the temples or other sightseeing, if needed? I'm thinking of an umbrella stroller that's around 3kg, or, just wing it by carrying our child as and when needed. Our child is a little too heavy/tall to be in a baby carrier.
