About the writer:

Would you like to enjoy casual cycling with Japan's national athletes?

This is a short version of the "Nagato Blue Ocean Ride with Akiyoshidai," which was held for the third time last November and received over 400 entries.
In addition to the beautiful scenery of the Sea of Japan, which lives up to its Blue Ocean Ride name, participants will also enjoy views of Motonosumijinja Shrine, a superbly scenic shrine that could not be included in this event due to traffic volume!
After riding to the foot of Kakunoshima Ohashi Bridge, which is popular as a scenic spot along with Motonosumi Shrine, visitors can board a cycle train.
The view of the sea from the train window while tasting delicious Nagato food is also exceptional.
