Feel the plateau's pleasant breeze while circling around the Kuju Mountains!

The mountains that spread out at the southern end of the Iida Kogen plataeu on the border of Oita and Kumamoto prefectures, with some peaks reaching 1,700 meters, are known as the Kuju Mountains. This course takes you around the Kuju mountains, letting you enjoy the changing expressions of the seasons as you cycle along the beautiful plateau. Relax your muscles at an onsen, or try some shaved ice to sate a dry throat. Some farms along the way serve delicious soft-serve ice cream—why not take a break on your cycling adventure?
