Introduction of HOW TO videos on Japanese bicycle traffic rules.

Introducing a How-To Video on Traffic Rules for foreign cyclists who are interested in cycling in Japan. In Ehime Prefecture, which hosts the largest cycling event in Japan called “Cycling Shimanami,” they promote bicycle tourism and provide an introduction to basic rules of cycling such as traffic regulations and riding on the left side of the road in English. They also explain exceptions where cycling on sidewalks is allowed and provide important points to note in such cases. Additionally, they provide clear explanations of prohibited behaviors. Please take a look at the video for more information.
*Note: While basic bicycle traffic rules are generally the same nationwide, some municipalities may have their own unique rules.

We’re pleased to present a guidebook featuring ride courses that extend beyond the Shimanami Kaido and across the entire Ehime Prefecture. “Ehime packs both sea and mountains into an incredibly compact area!”“It’s a world-class cycling destination, with climbs even higher than Alpe d’Huez!” These were just some of the impressions shared by cyclists from Australia who visited Japan to take part in a FAM (press) tour hosted by Ehime Prefecture.
