Cycle Tour Hokkaido

Cycle touring in Hokkaido is a smorgasbord of delights. Smooth wide roads curl over rolling hills amidst a rural tapestry of curated pastures. Here the vivid colours of the lavender fields are interspersed with vast fields of crops. Perfect black top beckons you on through this landscape as volcanoes, coastal villages, caldera lakes, world heritage wilderness and high peaks with the last of the winter snows (to August) provide a stunning backdrop. And throughout you stay in mixed accommodations, some traditional Japanese Inns, with great local food and of course, in most places, muscle relaxing natural hot spring baths. 

Our 10 day “Wild Hokkaido Explorer”, takes you from the World Heritage of the Shiretoko Peninsula in the east; through the Caldera lakes district, to the wilds and heights of Japan’s greatest national park, “Daisetsusan”. Our 8 day ”Playground of the Gods” ride, circumnavigates Daisetsusan National Park, with a day to explore the wilderness of Kuro Dake & the majestic Sounkyo Gorge. 

We pioneered guided cycle tours in Japan and with us you get the result of over 30 years of organising and running cycle tours in this enigmatic land. Contact us today to begin your own cycling adventure in Hokkaido Japan.
