The route

Your adventure begins at the foot of Sakurajima volcano, nestled in Kagoshima Bay.
Soon, you’ll leave the main roads behind and venture into the lush, humid forests of Kyushu.

Next, board a ferry to Shikoku and explore the island’s most secluded forest roads.
From there, journey through Nara and Mie prefectures, where you’ll have the chance to experience the breathtaking autumn colors these regions are famous for.

Take a quick ferry to Ise, then continue northward, culminating your journey deep in the heart of the Japanese Alps. Take a glance on the mountains as you reach the finish line in Matsumoto city Alps Park.
