Cycling vacations at the heart of Japanese history
Duration
15 nights
Level
4 - Advanced - hilly and mountainous - 50 to 90 km
This choice itinerary, mainly in the Kansai region and the south of the country, is a stimulating concentration of the Japanese world. On the program: Osaka and its modernity, the wooden castle at Himeji - the most visited in the country - the ancient capitals Kyoto and Nara, rich in heritage, not forgetting Mount Kōya, where you'll sleep in a monastery. And that's not all!
Add to this a string of islands - including Shikoku and its 88 temples - linked by six bridges, Hiroshima, a 300 km/h journey to Kyoto on the Shinkansen train, and the typical ryokan inns, and you have a memorable Japan, where good weather, refinement and gastronomic novelties are part of every new day.
