Japan is such an eclectic mix of sights and sounds, landscapes, history and culture that it is a joy to experience. This cycling tour takes in the cultural centres of Kyoto and Nara, as well as the monastic Kyo-san mountain where Buddhism still thrives today. Most of the cycling will be on Shikoku Island; through the central mountains, rivers and gorges of the Iya valley, alongside cliff top roads with views down upon Japan's southern coast. Our final day's riding is sure to be a highlight as we island hop across several 100 metre-high bridges to the main island of Honshu. A day to soak up Hiroshima's historical ambience. A fantastic cycling trip with unforgettable cultural experiences, we believe this trip has something for everyone.
