course map
- This mountain bike course follows the ski slope and is for downhill riding only. With lots of rocks and a steep gradient, this course is meant for experienced and skilled intermediate and advanced riders. (It is not recommended for beginners.)
- If you are not confident in your experience or skill, we strongly recommend that you hire an instructor or ride in the company of a highly experienced and skilled rider.
Bikes and Equipment
- Bikes: We recommend downhill or freeride bikes with front and back suspension that have a stroke that is suitable for tackling a tough downhill course.
- Helmet: Never ride without a helmet. (We strongly recommend a full face helmet.)
- Pads: We strongly recommend that you wear padding to protect your knees, elbows, back, chest and abdomen.
- We do not rent out mountain bikes, helmets or pads.
Course Safety Management
- After work was completed on this mountain bike course, it was inspected by a specialist instructor from the Japan Mountain Bike Association (JMBA) and determined to be safe. In order to maintain the course in that original condition, staff check and maintain the course daily before opening time.
- The day after heavy rain, or at other times when the course is damaged enough to make it impossible to ensure its safety, the course is closed until repairs can be completed.
To make sure that any accident can be reported without delay, we request that you refrain from riding the course solo.
