Temples, Tea & Tarmac - Road Cycling Holiday

A superb road cycling holiday to Japan; a country 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 cycling route leaves the, tourist paths far behind and following quiet, well paved backroads.

We’ll 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. Initially we follow the rugged and beautiful Japan Sea coast before taking a ferry to the remote area of Akita.

You'll stay in traditional inns, (Ryokan or Minshuku) and hostels and 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 day’s cycling. 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 cycling experience that ensure your cycling holiday in Japan will become a cherished memory.
