(1) Norikura-dake (Mt. Norikura) climbing and hill climbing<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Norikura Echo Line is a paved road that continues to the highest elevation in Japan. While it is well known that the line can be accessed by shuttle bus to its terminus at Tatamidaira Station (2,700 meters above sea level), it is actually possible to ride a bicycle as well. A major hill climb race is held at the end of the summer, making it a mecca for hill climbers.
E-bikes are available for rent at the tourist center. We recommend that you try hill-climbing on an electric-assist bike while feeling the fresh breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
