Many Japanese transport
companies will allow
you to have your bicycle
as luggage providing that
it’s less than 20kg and no
one side exceeds 203cm
when it’s packed in a
protective or storage
case. Fees vary by travel
provider.
■ LCC (Low Cost Carriers)
[Budget Airlines]
■ Transporting your Bicycle
by Package Delivery Services
■ JR (Japan Railways)
train lines
Carrying a bicycle will
usually involve an additional charge, as would any
large piece of luggage. Your
bicycle should be placed in
a protective storage case
made of a durable material
like corrugated cardboard.
Be advised that if you do
not make a reservation to
bring your bicycle on board
as luggage beforehand, you
may not be allowed to do
so.
Your bicycle can be moved from
your home/accommodation/where
you are staying to accommodations at where you intend to ride by
commercial delivery companies. If
you’re going to use this method,
it’s important to get permission
from the place that you will be
sending your bicycle to. Not doing
so could lead to a refusal to accept
the delivery. Always try to inquire
in advance.
You should put your
bicycle away in a special
bag, and providing it is
less than 30kg in weight,
and the length, width and
height do not exceed 250
cm in total and it is less
than 2 meters in length, it
can be carried for free on
JR train lines. Please
note that no more than
two pieces of luggage are
allowed per passenger.

Things to be aware of when cycling in Hokkaido
Even in summer the temperature can drop
sharply in places like high passes in the
morning and evening, or when it s raining.
The sun generally sets early, so allow some leeway in your itinerary
for times you may want to stop due
to noticeable drops in temperature.
There can be heavy traffic and large
vehicles on the major highways.
This can lead some cyclists to try
and ride only on the prefectural
roads, backstreets or the wide agricultural roads that are part of the
real charm of cycling Hokkaido.
However, unless you have real
knowledge of the area, an excellent GPS system or a guide with
you, these routes can be challenging to navigate.
05
When riding in the least populated areas of
Hokkaido, it may not be possible to buy food or
other supplies for relatively long periods of time.
Bathrooms may also not be available.
There can also be regions where it
will not be possible to get mobile
phone service. Plan your journey
with these considerations in mind.
Hokkaido is a treasure trove of wildlife.
However, there can be potential hidden issues when encountering wild
animals. Northern foxes carry a parasitic worm called Echinococcus.
There are strict restrictions on feeding or touchingt these animals as the
parasite is easily transferred to humans, so please refrain from doing
so.

Setting out from Shin Chitose Airport,
you’ll travel through the Chitose city area,
head to Lake Shikotsu and pass though
well-known and much-loved destinations
such as Lake Toya, Rusutsu, Niseko and
Kiroro. Many parts of this course have been
featured in the ‘Tour De Hokkaido’ race,
and are therefore perfect for advanced
cyclists who desire the additional challenge
of riding this course at a faster pace. Of
course, less advanced cyclists or those who
want to take things at their own pace can
enjoy the wide variety of stunning natural
beauty and top quality attractions that this
course offers.
Heavy traffic between Otaru and Sapporo
could prove difficult for riders who are not
accustomed to such conditions. Fortunately,
Otaru JR Station offers regular train service
to Sapporo JR Station. From Sapporo, you
can ride out to other destinations such as
Ishikari and Sorachi. There are many hot
springs and hot spring resorts on this course.
If you have enough space on your itinerary,
we fully recommend visiting the Shakotan
peninsula.

Many cyclists are drawn to this area by the
outstanding natural beauty and riding it is a
truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. There is
relatively little traffic, the stunning
landscapes are limitless, and it attracts many
inbound cycling tours from overseas. The
start point at Memanbetsu Airport near the
Okhotsk Sea, World Heritage site of
Shiretoko, Lake Mashu, Lake Kussharo, the
views from Bihiro Pass and the observation
point at Mashu are all magnificent. The
Koshimizu Flower Garden, Kawayu Hot
Spring Resort and the local seafood are all
highly recommended. If you have the time
or the stamina to spare, you can visit other
outstanding locations such as Shiretoko

From the popular cycle event held in
Furano’s vibrant landscape to the must-see
destinations of Biei and the charms of Lake
Kanayama, Karikachi Pass, Shohoro resort
and the Tokachi Plain, this area is overflowing with scenic beauty. Challenge the hills
of Mt. Tokachi- one of the most difficult
climbs in Hokkaido- if you have the time
and the stamina to try it.
This ride offers many special goods, confec-
tionaries, and restaurants where you can try
delicious local cuisine. Have a relaxing soak
in a wonderful hot spring bath to recover
from the fatigue of your journey and enjoy
the gorgeous food served there. Road
surfaces on this course are of a particularly
high quality, so the only possible challenge
in this area is the lack of convenience stores
or similar amenities along some parts of the
ride.

The start point of this ride is one of Hokkaido’s
key travel hubs, Asahikawa JR Station. Ride
alongside the Chubetsu River while still in the
city, and make your way to Higashikagura
Town, a place filled with flowers, where a
panoply of gentle scents hangs in the air. Going
out into the countryside, you’ll head towards
Mt. Asahi, Hokkaido’s highest mountain, and
also see the Chubetsu Dam. If you have the
extra time or energy, extend your journey to
allow yourself to enjoy the mineral-rich natural
spring water at Taisetsu Asahidake. The
residents of Higashikawa Town are lucky
enough to use this famous water every day, so
another way to get those benefits is to try the
local coffee and sweets at a café in the town.
After cycling a straight section of the course
that’s just over 10km, you’ll reach the
much-loved and northernmost zoo in Japan,
Asahiyama Zoo. As the sun goes down,
Asahikawa’s symbolic Asahi Bridge glows with
a dark, rich red.

Setting out from Obihiro JR Station and going
south on National Highway 236, the boundless
Tokachi Plain is reached. The flatness of the
plain is especially recommended for beginners.
Along the ride there are 3 gardens filled with the
uniqueness of Hokkaido. On the way to Michi
No Eki (Rest Stop) Nakasatsunai, riders will
enjoy Manabe Garden, the first conifer garden
in Japan. Rokka No Mori is next, a place
resplendent with wild grass and mountain
flowers. Near a local rest stop, Aikoku (‘Country of Love’) Station and Koufuku (‘Happi-
ness’) Station are to be found, being known
collectively as ‘From the country of love to
happiness’. After reaching the slope bound for
the Hidaka mountains, the large Yachiyo Farm
(210 times the size of Tokyo Dome) can be
seen. The classic pastoral view of cows grazing
on the side of a mountain can be enjoyed in this
area. On the way to the end point of Obihiro JR
Station, riders will see Shichiku Garden where
over 2500 flowers can be seen in bloom.

Kushiro Marsh- where the Kushiro River flows – is the
largest in Japan. Starting out from Beppo city, National
Highway 44 has a lot of traffic. When-Joining National
Highway 272, the amount of traffic will decrease, at the same
time as the number of trees increase. Riding on Prefectural
Road 221, a rural landscape filled with forests and farms will
01
gradually appear. Lake Toro is at the beginning of the marsh.
Travelling towards Hosooka Observation Point (one of the
most popular in Japan), be careful because the uphill slope to
that location is practically a dirt road. Your reward is a
spectacular view of the vast Kushiro Marsh and the meandering flow of the Kushiro River.
02
Featuring such delights as Atsugishi oysters,
this area is rich in high-quality seafood. This is
a course full of variety with natural features like
coves and a moor. Other highlights include

see many fishing ports which are known for their rich sea
life such as scallops, oyster, urchin and marbled sole.
Find the “good omen” place called “Kofuku-Happiness-”
in Kikonai-cho and ensure the success of this cycling tour.
Secretly smiling to yourself while cycling, a train running
parallel to you will cheer you up. At the half of the course,
you will see a sign to Kikonai station. This course starts
from Hakodate, but it is possible that once the Shinkansen
opens, you can get off at Kikonai station and then cycle
the coastline to Hakodate. Just before the finish, there is a
park where you can see the strange shaped stone Ikarikai
Island, and also this park you can camp if you wish.
Shiriuchi-cho, where Kotaniishi, the goal is located, has
the local specialties “Shiriuchi Oyster” which is grown in
the quick tides in straits and chives called “Kita no
Hana-Flower of the north-” which Shiriuchi is the biggest
producer of in Hokkaido. Both are ideal foods for the
exhausted cyclist. The “Oyster and chive festival” also
takes place every February, so you can visit again for it.
The nature of Shiriuchi like Yagoshi kaigan and the range
of Mt.Daisengen offer rough but grand and beautiful
views.
