We are constantly on the road throughout Japan in search of best routes. Each of our routes is a culmination of rigorous selection of safe and quiet roads, scenic beauty, high quality accommodations, and cultural attractions. We offer roughly two levels of trips: MODERATE with a relaxed pace over flat to rolling terrain and an average daily cycling distance of 40 to 60 kilometers (25 to 38 miles), and CHALLENGING for experienced cyclists with a daily average of 80 to 100 kilometers (50 to 63 miles) covering hilly terrain with passes and climbs. Because of hilly landscapes in Japan, roads are in general a little steeper than those in the US (but rarely exceed 10% grade - similar to local roads that you will find in France or Italy). However, you do not need to be scared off. We carefully consider how much effort it takes to gain elevation in designing rides. Moreover, a support van is around you to give you a lift just in case you have had enough. After all, these roads are exactly what enable you to enjoy beautiful scenery and rewarding rides!
