Excursion Overview
Just north of Kanazawa is one of Japan's best kept secrets - the Noto Peninsula. With stunning rocky coastlines, quaint fishing villages, and a verdant green interior, rich with agriculture, this region is a microcosm of rural Japan. Jutting out of the Ishikawa region into the Sea of Japan, the peninsula has an island feel, largely adrift from the modern world.
There are many ways to reach the Noto Peninsula - we can organise a rental car, which will give you the most freedom to explore, but public transport does exist to reach a number of fascinating destinations, with a few train options, and a reliable (though somewhat infrequent) network of buses for the more intrepid of visitors.
If you have a few days to spare, and a peloton's worth of friends with you, we can organise an escorted cycling trip around the peninsula, staying in traditional accommodation and seeing rural landscapes and hidden gems throughout your travels. This can be linked up well with a journey to the other key parts of Japan: cycling clubs, get in touch!

“
A highly knowledgeable and professional company that looks after you and your particular needs from beginning to end. Japan was my third trip through them and their team in the office, Fenton in particular, their local guides and their on the ground back up staff were brilliant. Faultless is the one word that springs to mind and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Emma planned our trip to Japan with us expertly. We explored Tohoku and had some wonderful guides. The travel, the hotels, and the advice and support we were given was just what we had hoped for. The adventure was truly memorable and totally enjoyable. A truly superb experience. Thank you!
