apan is filled with a myriad of cultural and historical sights and is a true cycling paradise which pleasantly contradicts ones image, of this busy and industrious nation. Our route leaves the, well-worn tourist paths far behind and follows predominantly quiet, well-paved back roads.
Initially we follow the rugged and beautiful Japan Sea coast before taking a ferry to the remote area of Akita in Northern part of the main island of Honshu. During summer, the rice fields and forests with varying shades of green have a soothing effect on the eyes.
At days end you will stay in traditional style inns, (Ryokan or Minshuku) and hotels. Here you will experience the Japanese art of hospitality and sample an amazing variety of delicious food. Another treat is the numerous hotspring baths where you can soak away the effects of your days effort. Our experienced team, resident in Japan, have an enthusiasm and broad understanding of the many and varied aspects of Japanese culture, as well as extensive biking experience that will ensure your cycling holiday in Japan will become a cherished lifelong memory. Looking for a non-road based trip in Japan then check out our Temples, Tea & Trails holiday as featured in our Biking Adventures and Cycling Brochures.

Well begin in the ancient capital, Kyoto where, we explore some temples and historical back streets by day and in the evening experience the hustle and bustle of the now modern cultural capital. We leave the city and head for the wooded hills into a quiet and charming rural landscape.
The shy and reticent locals are quick to smile when you greet them with a Kon Ichi Wa.
