IHATOVO: Iwate Prefecture as a dreamland for children, where you can talk to the wind and live in the clear air in the midst of magnificent nature.
Kenji Miyazawa sent these words to children around the world to encourage the seeds of righteousness to sprout.
Honda believes that human happiness lies in harmony with nature, and that motorcycles are one way to nurture that happiness. He named it "Ihatov" with his desire to improve the relationship between humans and nature through motorcycles.

Trekking bike

TREKKING (English), which means ``to take a slow trip on an oxcart, to make a strenuous trip'', is currently used as a national sporting term, mainly for health and recreation, such as ``mountain walking, skiing on flat ground, etc.''. It is used in the wind such as walking exercise for the purpose and "turning the bosom of nature".
Honda further develops this meaning and advocates the enjoyment of leisurely touring around the grandeur of nature on a two-wheeled vehicle.
