Things to be aware of when cycling in Hokkaido

This can lead some cyclists to try and ride only on the prefectural roads, backstreets or the wide agri-cultural roads that are part of the real charm of cycling Hokkaido. However, unless you have real knowledge of the area, an excel-lent GPS system or a guide with you, these routes can be challeng-ing to navigate.

There can be heavy traffic and largevehicles on the major highways.

However, there can be potential hid-den issues when encountering wild animals. Northern foxes carry a par-asitic worm called Echinococcus. There are strict restrictions on feed-ing or touchingt these animals as the parasite is easily transferred to hu-mans, so please refrain from doing so.

Hokkaido is a treasure trove of wildlife.

The sun generally sets early, so al-low some leeway in your itinerary for times you may want to stop due to noticeable drops in temperature.

You can access downloadable pam-phlets and maps showing the positions of all bicycle stands, addresses and links to specialized cycling shops and a list of hotels that offer dedicated bi-cycle storage.

Even in summer the temperature can dropsharply in places like high passes in themorning and evening, or when it’s raining.

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.

When riding in the least populated areas ofHokkaido, it may not be possible to buy food orother supplies for relatively long periods of time.

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.

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 overflow-ing 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.

This long ride starts at Nopporo Shinrin Park and goes through the Ishikari plain and the rural landscape of Minamisorachi. The moderate ups-and-downs and views of the Ishikari River and the Tappu Ohasi (Large Bridge) are some of the highlights of this ride. The fresh farm products at the Michi No Eki (Rest Stop) in

Shinshinotsu are highly recommended. After reaching the end point, many cyclists take the opportunity to have a Gensen Kakenagashi (fresh flowing hot spring water) or Moor Onsen (Botanical, mineral-rich) hot spring bath at Onsen Kiyora close to Shinrin Koen Park.

This course through the suburbs of Sapporo has always been a favour-ite among locals, who flock the route on national holidays. It starts and ends at Makomanai Park, a former event site of the 1972 Winter Olympics and about 8km away from the very centre of Sapporo. Areas of great natural beauty along this route include Takino Suzuran Kyuryo Park and the base of Mt. Moiwa. You may find it hard to believe that such rich nature can be found in a bustling city, but you’ll be delight-ed when you see it for yourself. Moderate ups-and-downs and delicious cuisine are also there to be enjoyed.

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 (‘Coun-try 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

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 meander-ing flow of the Kushiro River.

Marnie Was There’ will enjoy guessing whether it was Mochirippu Marsh or Hichirippu Marsh that was used as the backdrop for the story. The end point at Cape Kiritappu is famous for its breathtaking sunsets, so a sunset ride is highly recommended.

The largest caldera lake in Japan, Lake Kussharo and the untouched beauty of Lake Akan are the highlights of this course. These two lakes, of which Eastern Hokkai-do is so rightly proud, are linked by the routes inside this national park region. The first half of the shore of Lake Kussharo is an almost flat road travelling through

a forest. From the city area of Teshikaga, the Sogakudai hill climb is about 600 meters above sea level. The observation Sogakudai has commanding views of Mt.Oakan and Mt.Meakan. Next, at the Sokodai observation riders will have a fantastic view of Penketo and Panketo, and Lake Akan.

This area offers an extensive landscape where the sight of mountains and plateaus are intermingled. This area has been chosen many times as the setting for the ‘Tour De Hokkaido’- one of the longest cycling races in Japan. Among the routes of Niseko, the most popular one is a course of 55km total in length that rounds the foot of Mt. Yotei. Even beginners can travel around this circuit around Mt. Yotei

in a half a day. The first half of the course is a standard gentle uphill slope, with fields of potatoes and corn on either side. On the way to the end point, drink mineral-rich spring water, try the various hot springs dotted around the area and eat local specialties at places like Fukidashi Park in Kyogogu Town, and Michi No Eki (Rest Stop) View Plaza in Niseko Town.

Loop course that provides cyclists with typical scenery that makes you exclaim "this is Hidaka," such as thoroughbred ranches and beautiful coastlines.Start off from roadside station Mitsuishi, and head toward the Hidaka Mountain Range. Vast, and impressive thoroughbred ranches come into view. As you cycle through the ranches, you will see views such as the "Nijukken-doro Cherry Colonnade." There are plenty of great places to stop by, such as the Di-Maccio Art Museum, where you will find the largest oil painting in the world.

The second half of the loop with slight undula-tion, will take you along the beautiful coastline of the Pacific Ocean, where you will feel the refreshing ocean air on your face. There are great spots to view the sun setting over the horizon, not to mention numerous eateries to satisfy both your heart and stomach. Once you reach your goal, we suggest you relax and unwind in the fine hot springs next to the roadside station.The course, with total distance of 162 kilometers, reaches maximum elevation of 1,329 meters, and is very rewarding. It is easy to lose one's way, so we suggest the use of the Lat Long Lab.
