Cycle Kyushu’s lush lands

Venture to Kyushu—Japan’s southernmost main island, where dramatic mountain vistas, volcanic landscapes, historic cities and serene hot springs await your exploration. Begin your adventure in Kagoshima, pedalling through lush green tea fields to the Kagoshima Shrine, where a Shinto ceremony blesses your travels. Cycle along stunning coastlines and smooth trails, pausing to meet our local friend in a traditional kominkan. Follow a riverside road to the lush Aya Ecopark, crossing the “Aya Teruha Suspension Bridge” to reach the heart of Aya. Meet local artisans to discover the secrets of age-old crafts and immerse yourself in the mythical tales of Japan’s creation through the captivating Yokagura dance. Along the way, you'll savour fresh, local delicacies and unwind from a day of cycling in tranquil hotels that reflect the island’s enchanting beauty.

Level 4

The daily distances range from 25-50+ km (16-31 mi.) with longer options available. Most rides have several climbs of 2-4 km, some gradual and some steep, but the B&R van will be there should you need a little boost. The routes have very little traffic as we often travel on roads not frequented by the local population. Road quality is excellent. Of our trips outside Europe, this one offers some of the purest and most beautiful biking. If you are comfortable riding a road bike then we recommend that you do so for this trip.
