Akan-Mashu to Shiretoko 8 Day Cycling Tour 2025

Posted

In June, a group from New Zealand joined us for our popular Akan-Mashu to Shiretoko 8 Day Cycling Tour, exploring this wonderful region in a loop from Abashiri. Hitting up both Akan-Mashu National Park and Shiretoko National Park, everyone was treated to some amazing weather and even the odd wildlife sighting.

Thank you to all of our guests for joining us and of course to guides Ayu, Issy and Richard for leading this adventure! As always, we’d like to give a special thanks to Cycling Japan, with whom we operate our cycling tours.
