Things to be aware of when cycling in Hokkaido
Even in summer the temperature can drop
sharply in places like high passes in themorning and evening, or when itʼs 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 prefecturalroads, backstreets or the wide agricultural roads that are part of thereal charm of cycling Hokkaido.
However, unless you have realknowledge of the area, an excellent GPS system or a guide withyou, 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 orother 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 journeywith 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 theparasite is easily transferred to humans, so please refrain from doingso.

Setting out from Shin Chitose Airport,
you’ll travel through the Chitose city area,
head to Lake Shikotsu and pass thoughwell-known and much-loved destinations
such as Lake Toya, Rusutsu, Niseko andKiroro. Many parts of this course have beenfeatured in the ‘Tour De Hokkaido’ race,
and are therefore perfect for advanced
cyclists who desire the additional challengeof riding this course at a faster pace. Of
course, less advanced cyclists or those whowant to take things at their own pace canenjoy the wide variety of stunning natural

beauty and top quality attractions that thiscourse offers.
Heavy traffic between Otaru and Sapporo
could prove difficult for riders who are notaccustomed 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.

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 hillsof 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 soakin a wonderful hot spring bath to recoverfrom the fatigue of your journey and enjoy
the gorgeous food served there. Road
surfaces on this course are of a particularlyhigh quality, so the only possible challenge
in this area is the lack of convenience storesor similar amenities along some parts of the
ride.

Kikonai Station is the first station in Hokkaido
where the Hokkaido Shinkansen stops. This is where
the course begins. Locals in Hokkaido call thesouthern part of Hokkaido facing the Tsugaru Strait"Donan," which literally means "southern Hokkaido." Of all the regions of Hokkaido, it is the richest inJapanese history and culture; it is truly a dramatic
region. The scenery in this region, also very dramatic and diverse, does not pale against the dramatic
history of the area. First of all, Mt. Hakodate appears
as a floating island on the horizon, with glimpses of
Aomori prefecture on the other side of the Tsugaru
Strait, and nearer to the Sea of Japan the islands of
Kojima, Oshima, Okushiri and Kamome come intoview. Depending on the season and weather, thescenery changes, with the thrilling sound of thethundering ocean when the tide is in, and a beautiful
shoreline can be seen scattered with rock formationsof all sizes when the tide is out. It can be fun to ridewith the breeze along the undulating west side of
Hwy 228, as your heart anticipates the next sceneryto catch the eye.
Besides the wonderful vistas, the Donan region is
also brimming with succulent fresh seafood andblessings of the land that are sure to recharge yourenergy. As you ride along the main highway, don't
forget to take a few side roads and sidestops to add toyour enjoyment on this course.
