NISEKO DISCOVERY CYCLING

EVENT - JAPAN - NISEKO DISCOVERY CYCLING

あ、推敲ではなくて英訳ね This fun ride event starts in Niseko and takes cyclists through Hokkaido’s magnificent natural landscapes, offering opportunities to discover local food, culture, and regional attractions along the way. Building on a tradition of fun rides held alongside the Niseko Classic since 2017, the event features newly designed routes each year that showcase the unique character of surrounding towns. Riders can choose a course that suits their fitness level and experience. In 2026, two routes are available: a 65 km course through the picturesque countryside toward Rusutsu, and a 100 km course that includes a scenic ride along the shores of Lake Toya. In previous years, some routes have even featured stops at hot springs. Aid stations serve local Hokkaido specialties, making the event much more than just a bike ride. It’s a chance to experience the very best of Niseko, from its breathtaking scenery to its delicious regional cuisine.

Even now, as the first signs of autumn begin to appear, I often find myself thinking back to this summer in Niseko. In August 2026, I took part in the 100 km course of Niseko Discovery Cycling as a guest rider. Looking back, it was a truly special day spent in Nisek […]
