Big mountains. Rich culture. Exquisite food.
Japan is a culturally rich island country decorated with significant mountain chains containing peaks that tower over 3000 meters (9,843ft) above sea level. Home to more than a dozen UNESCO World Heritage sites and the birthplace of sushi, Japan is both a cultural and adventurous experience. Though it’s most notably known for the incredible skiing and snowboarding in winter, we think it should be recognized for the little known, yet supremely fun mountain biking.
Imagine loamy, tacky dirt and flowy trails that twist and turn through steep mountains and thickly covered dense forest. Along the trail you may come across a Buddhist shrine or temple and sacred places to meditate or stop and take in the incredible views. Top off your day with a dinner of freshly made soba noodles and a soak in one of the many Onsens, natural mineral hot springs heated by natural volcanic activity, and you’ve got the recipe for an epic day of mountain biking.
Let us take you on an undiscovered mountain bike adventure.
