Stunning Scenery

Volcanoes, forests, rivers, lakes and ocean - Hokkaido has it all! Due to a lower population density than the rest of Japan, Hokkaido is blessed with all the wide open spacs and nature that cyclists dream of. The scenery you'll ride through here is different to the cityscapes of Tokyo, Osaka or Kyoto, this is a side to Japan that many visitors don't see. We assure you, Hokkaido cannot be beaten for our diverse and inspiring landscapes, making it a cycling paradise.

Culture

There’s no better way to experience Japanese culture than cycle touring with a local guide. Hokkaido is frontier territory so overland travel under your own steam is nothing unusual. Bathe in natural hot springs, savour the fantastic fresh seafood, local vegetables, fruit and even ice cream. And to complete your day as a Japanese adventurer, fall into a well earned sleep in futon bedding on tatami floors. It doesn’t get any more Japanese than this!
