Hiroshima Criterium

Pro cycling comes to downtown Hiroshima – or at least near to it.

Over 20 teams converge on Hiroshima as part of the Japan cycling pro tour. The riders will race at dizzying speed around a 1.7km loop on the wide roads that run through Shoko Center, 10 minutes walk from Shin-inokuchi Station.
