This seven day cycling tour of East Hokkaido visits some truly wild and wonderful parts of Hokkaido – places and sights that are rarely seen and experienced by foreign visitors. It’s not just about the sights, though. The tour places a focus on cultural experiences, too, with trips to shrines, hikes up steaming volcanoes, natural onsen hot springs and stays at Japanese ryokan, complete with Japanese dinners and breakfasts.

Daily stages range from 80 to 100 km on sealed tarmac through varied terrain, including coastal roads, valley plains, lakeside paths and mountain passes. Riders are accompanied by a support vehicle, there to help should any unfortunate mechanical or medical problems arise, as well as doing the heavy lifting carrying the food, water and baggage.

Rhythm Cycles and Groove Cycles are working hard to try and increase the awareness of Hokkaido as a cycling destination, not just a world class ski location.
