Minamiboso – relaxed

Picture quiet roads winding through farm villages and terraced rice fields, with ocean views and colorful seasonal flowers. You can enjoy fresh seafood and local produce on a bike trip just an hour and a half from Tokyo Station. The Boso Peninsula, in southern Chiba prefecture, is a hidden gem for cyclists. On this two-day trip, we ride along scenic coasts and peaceful farmlands. The mostly flat or gently rolling terrain is perfect for relaxed rides.

After breakfast, you can participate in an optional loop ride to the beautiful Oyama Senmaida, which are selected as one of the “100 beautiful terraced rice paddies in Japan. By mid-morning, we start from our inn on quiet roads through farm villages and valleys. We stop by a 300-year old farmhouse for lunch. We eventually ride towards the Pacific Ocean onto a cycle path by the water. You can pedal feeling the sea breeze and enjoy the sweeping ocean views. Tonight we stay at a minshuku (traditional Japanese-style guest house) in Chikura, a quaint fishing port town in the southern Boso Peninsula. We feast on the freshest seafood in the evening.

Day 3 : Minamiboso (45km)

We continue riding our way along the coastline on the “Flower Line,” with flower farms and parks located along the road. Once we reach the southern tip of the peninsula near the Nojima-zaki Lighthouse, we say goodbye to the ocean for now and head inland towards the north. We pedal through farmlands on gently undulating hills and stop by a charming Buddhist temple nestled on a quiet hill for lunch. Then we head back to our villa for the first night and finish the ride there. After showering and changing clothes, you will be accompanied by our representative to the Highway Oasis Furari, where you can catch a bus for Tokyo. (Breakfast and lunch included)
