    Around Daisetsuzan Cycling Tour

    We had two guests join us in August 2021 for a ride around Hokkaido's Daisetsuzan Mountains. The tour was led by guides Dai and Ayu with Richard also going along to get to know the roads. Here are our favourite photos from the trip.

    Lake Toya to the Sea of Japan Cycling Tour

    Adventure Hokkaido guides Dai and Ken led some of our friends from Hokkaido Treasure Island Travel on a ride through the rural roads around Lake Toya and the Niseko area. Along with Ayaka, I also joined the ride to experience the area's roads first hand. It was some of my favourite cycling in Hokkaido.
