Our “Across Hokkaido 14 Days Bike Tour” has come to a close, and what a triumphant finish it was!
Riders who gathered from all corners of the globe for this two week adventure leave as a tightly bonded team, carrying memories that will last a lifetime, and promising to reunite on the next great journey.
The tour’s second half took us deep into the wild heart of eastern Hokkaido.
We rode through landscapes shaped by volcanoes, calderas, and abundant flowing water, passing from dairy country into grain fields before reaching the shores of the Okhotsk Sea.
The beauty of the Shiretoko World Natural Heritage site left everyone spellbound, wildlife encounters delighted the group, and one breathtaking view after another kept spirits soaring.
And of course, every evening brought relaxation in the onsen and a feast of Japanese cuisine crafted from local ingredients, refreshing both body and mind for the days ahead.
Two weeks that felt long in the planning flew by in the living.
On the final day, few could believe it was really over, and more than a few voices wished it could go on.
Now it’s your turn. Details for the 2027 “Across Hokkaido 14 Days Bike Tour” will be posted on our website soon. Stay tuned!
