This is a special event, held once every two years, when cyclists can experience the exhilaration of riding along the main expressway that is normally inaccessible to cyclists, as well as the spectacular views that can only be experienced on this day. This event is truly a “cycling trip” that allows participants to experience local hospitality and culture while crossing beautiful islands in the Seto Inland Sea. There are eight different courses ranging from 30 km to 140 km in distance to suit all fitness levels and objectives.
