Great route. However, there is a section near the start for about 5kms which is technically closed due to risk of rockfall and is mostly unsealed. Best not to do it if rainy or winter.

Caution. Route 5 has an old unlit tunnel, no footpaths, 0.5km long. It's not busy though and downhill from Ichinohe side, so can be traversed in 30secs. Lights essential.

Very cycling-friendly city as long as you are not in a rush.

Great roads on this outing, apart from one long tunnel.

Pretty good campsite at end of route. About £12 a night though they gave me a second night free. What sets it apart is the excellent Onsen 100m away. 600 yen/about £4. Great way to end the day.

Biwa. Good cycle paths. Wild camping seems common. Watch out for barriers on cycle paths set just wide enough for a bike to pass through, but can be a problem if you have panniers. Caught me out. Broken pannier clip.

Was caught out by the fast Japanese sunset. Initially a bit of fun beating the rush hour traffic in the city. However, no fun in the environs where there are no street lights and a lot of oncoming traffic use high beam.

Always good to get the big climb out of the way early. There is often a small sheltered rest area, orviewpoint at the top of mountain passes in Japan - good place to take a break or do some Ninja camping.

Route 176 busy, route 86 & 77 excellent. Free campsite by river. Clean toilets. No shower. Nice spot, but a train will pass by occasionally.

Route 9. Very busy but gets you there. Route 59 really nice rural cycling, one easy tunnel.
