For riding activities, test rides were offered for those new to or inexperienced with off-roading. A course was set up where participants could ride under the guidance of dedicated instructors. Test rides were conducted using models such as the KLX230 series and KLX140R L, as well as the four-wheeled off-road vehicle KFX.

A BBQ dinner using local ingredients was served for dinner, followed by a stargazing session where a "Star Sommelier" explained the night sky. Participants spent a relaxing time gazing at the starry sky in the midst of nature.

On the morning of the second day, a sea of clouds touring event was held, heading to an area over 2,000 meters above sea level by motorcycle or car.
