All journeys
From viewpoint to saddle

From admiring Mt. Fuji to riding all the way around it, under your own power.

The Yamanashi Fujiichi Cycling Tour is not a sightseeing outing. It is a genuine adventure on two wheels, where you take in the scale of a World Heritage mountain with every sense.

Ride the whole way around the greatest mountain in Japan and you earn something only riders know: the quiet pride of “Fuji 360° Complete”.

Route data

One 150 km loop around the mountain.

Long descents, fast lakeside stretches, short ramps that keep coming, and a climb waiting in the second half. Every side of the mountain rides differently.

One journey, five highlights

The mountain changes shape with every turn of the pedals.

01Highlight 01

Fuji in 360°, and all five lakes

As you ride around the mountain, its shape, its light and the land at its feet keep changing. Only a full loop shows you all of them.

Lake Kawaguchi, Lake Sai, Lake Shoji, Lake Motosu and Lake Yamanaka: each has a character of its own, and each hands you Mt. Fuji again across the water.

02Highlight 02

Open road across the Asagiri plateau

One of the signature stretches of the Fujiichi loop: wide grassland, with Mt. Fuji standing straight ahead.

The whole horizon opens in front of your wheel, and the ride opens with it.

03Highlight 03

Tokyo 2020 roads and a 150 km challenge

Test yourself on the roads where the best riders in the world once raced.

The full 150 km loop, with 1,833 m of climbing along the way.
