The Pacific Cycling Road is the longest cycling route in Japan, stretching for 1,487 kilometers from Choshi in Chiba Prefecture to Wakayama City. Shizuoka, Aichi, and Mie prefectures make up roughly half the route (835 kilometers), and each area has its own special nature, history, and culture.
Shizuoka is largely separated into the four areas of Izu Peninsula, Suruga Bay, Shida-Haibara, and Hamamatsu. A route with a view of the World Heritage Site Mt. Fuji, the rich nature of the sea and mountains of the Izu Peninsula, and the historic onsen towns Atami and Ito, each with their own different scenery, weather, and allure.
