Cycling Shimanami 2022
October 30, 2022
A rare opportunity to ride Japan’s Shimanami Kaido on the highway which will be closed to traffic in this once a year cycle event.
A total of 7,000 cyclists will be able to take part in 8 different events run on courses ranging from 30km to 140km in length.
Entry fees range from ¥6000 for the shortest course to ¥18,000 for the 140km course. The event is very likely to sell out and most people will hope they get a spot in a lottery. The highly motivated, however, can opt for a limited number of early bird premium entries (which include some extra goodies such as local products and a special cycling jersey). Premium entries run at ¥34,000 – ¥38,000.
