Eroica Japan, celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2024, is delighted to announce special tour programs.

These programs are designed to make participating in Eroica Japan easy and to let you fully enjoy the charm of Izu, the event's host location and the beauty of Japan. We have arranged comfortable hotels for easy access to Eroica Village, family-friendly tours to explore Japan after Eroica Japan, and a magnificent tour called 'Samurai Cannonball,' where you can cross Japan from the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Japan by bicycle in just 2 days. 

This is the presentation of the Eroica Japan 2024 taken from the CorsaCorsa website.

It is really a big event, "born" and created in Italy's Toscana's Chianti region and then exported in many countries, including Japan.

Our Izu region has been chosen to be the place where about 500 bycicle enthusiast will come (May 11 and 12) and drive thru Izu's beautiful mountains and countryside. It has been chosen because of its nature, the mountains, the seaside, its beautiful colors and last but not least because it can be easily reached by all over Japan and also from abroad through Narita and Haneda Airports.

As its Italian name recalls, it is made for bycicle enthusiast women and men, that are the representation of our modern days heroes, so it will be not a journey made for everybody.

There will be four different routes, with four different lenght:

Samurai, 183km, (5am-7pm)

Odoriko 145km, (6am-6pm)

Fuji route 80km 82.7km, (10am-4pm)

Fuji route 30km 28.7km, (10.30am-2.30pm)

All these four routes will go through the most beautiful places of the Izu Peninsula, from the east to the west coast, from IzuNagaoka down to the Shimoda seaside, crossing the amazing Amagi mountains.

It will be really a great event and a great opportunity to discover the Izu Peninsula, with fantastic side events, as the bycicle parade and the Italian cuisine festival (Ciao Italia) that will be held in the near Nirayama.

Next time we'll talk about the history of this great event.

Ciao!
