2008 Mt. Fuji Ecocycling & JCN One Day Tour - Tokyo to Mt. Fuji

The Photo by Yamanakako Tourist Assosication

On Sunday, September 7th, Mt. Fuji Ecocyling will be held. In connection with this event, Japan Cycling Navigator offers an optional tour to cycle from Tokyo to Fuji on Saturday, September 6th, the preceding day. This is a result of the collaboration between the Foundation of Japan Cycling Association, one of the organizers of the Mt. Fuji Ecocycling event, and JCN.  We'll take you from Tokyo to the foot of Mt. Fuji on the safer route that we chose for this event. Once you get out of the metropolitan area, you will be less annoyed by the traffic and will enjoy beautiful scenery. A support car will be available so that you can travel light while you ride your bike. The "JCN One Day Tour - Tokyo to Mt. Fuji" - nicely complements "Mt. Fuji Ecocycling" to make your expedition even more ecological.  

The closing day is 17th August. Please register before it.

Also if you have any question, please ask in our dedicated web board for this ride.
