This two-week cycling holiday in Japan invites you to become part of a small group pedalling through the countrys diverse landscapes, not only exploring famous sights, but also getting into the groove of local life. Youll head through the farmlands and mountains of Takayama and the windswept shores of the Noto Peninsula, as well as witnessing the fascinating traditions of the UNESCO listed villages of Shirakawa-go. Throughout the holiday youll be cycling past quintessential Japanese scenery, from temples and shrines to hot springs and local markets, with surfaced roads, country lanes and cycle paths providing safe passage against the naturally beautiful backdrop. Youll also get to explore the best of Japanese cities, from the neon, skyscrapers and crowds of modern mega-metropolis Tokyo, to the old-world charms of Kyoto, filled with sublime gardens, atmospheric temples, and secretive geisha districts. There will be average daily distances of 60km, and partial vehicle support, for when the going gets tough. Nights will be spent either in standard hotels or in traditional rural accommodation and ryokans (guesthouses) to create an authentic travelling experience.
