You know it’s time for cycling season once the snow starts to melt in the Japan Alps!
Join us in April and register for the Sakura Group if you’re interested in cycling through flurries of Japan’s famous cherry blossoms! Enjoy a challenging 120km or 160km course to Hakuba and find the best scenic views Japan has to offer.
・The course is not closed; cyclists will ride on public roads without road closures.
・TT and triathlon bikes are not permitted. Aerobars must be removed from road bikes.
・This is not a race and cyclists are not given timing chips. Passing should be kept to a minimum and always with advanced verbal notification.
・Cyclists must stop at each and every aid station, even if just for a moment.
IMPORTANT: You may not personally register Japanese-fluent friends/family/colleagues, etc. who were unable to register through Japanese-language only options. Similarly, you should not encourage them to pursue Samurai Sports as an alternate registration option. Samurai Sports is a service meant to increase participation and expand access for those who cannot communicate fluently or comfortably in Japanese.
