A pleasant cycling tour
I wanted to know if a road bike would suit me, so I asked the guide about bikes and rode about 62km. The weather was good and it was a comfortable ride. The bike I was given had a carbon frame and was very comfortable to ride. (Participated alone) (This review has been machine translated) -
Road bike one-day cycling tour
It was a private tour for two friends, and the guide was from England. We drove 60km from Ishikari River to Jufu, and the guide was wonderful. We really enjoyed the real Hokkaido. Thank you very much. (This review was machine translated)

Enjoy the magnificent scenery of Hokkaido
This time, I participated alone during my free time during a 3-night, 4-day company trip. As part of my daily training, I ride my road bike in Tokyo. The more I get into cycling, the more I want to ride on the straight roads of Hokkaido with few cars. It felt great to climb the back roads and slopes around the Ishikari River and feel the wind and smells. Our guide, Mr. David, was also fun, and since we are the same age, we had fun talking. He also taught me a lot about bicycles, and it was a very meaningful time. At the end, I was taken to Sapporo Station and enjoyed the train ride to the airport. Next time, I would like to ride around Hokkaido on my own bike. (This review has been machine translated) -
Next time I'll try to go over 100km
I signed up for this cycling tour to celebrate my friend's retirement and recovery from illness, but I was worried about his stamina, strength, and physical condition and whether he would be able to complete the 80km. It was a little chilly on the day, but the temperature became comfortable once we started riding. As we rode along the flat cycling road along the Ishikari River, we got used to the rental road bikes, and enjoyed chatting with David, our tour guide, who was leading the ride while estimating our abilities, and the wide, spacious scenery typical of Hokkaido. I also enjoyed some of the hills along the way (lol). (This review has been machine translated) -
My first road bike experience!
He picked me up at the hotel in the morning, and while we were waiting for the weather to improve, he took me to a cafe at Royce, to a delicious miso ramen restaurant, and after cycling, he took me to a hot spring, and I was able to see my child and deer, and he told me about a delicious izakaya to go to at night. The flow of the day was perfect, and the guy was nice, and it was fun! It wasn't enough snow to pile up, but it was raining? Snowing? It was cloudy, and the headwind was cold! But the road bike I rode for the first time was lighter than a mamachari! It was fast! It was cold! I was very satisfied that my wish to ride a bicycle on a road that is typical of Hokkaido was fulfilled! I had planned to go on a trip where I could eat my fill, but I got a good workout, and the dinner at the seafood izakaya that he told me about was even more delicious, so I recommend cycling. I got muscle pain in my inner thighs. Even though I used such light gears... lol. I want to go on a road bike ride again in the warmer seasons!

I enjoyed the short time I had effectively!
I tried the one-day course on September 10th, starting at 9:00. I told them I was staying in Shin-Sapporo and would be returning to Tokyo in the evening on a flight from New Chitose Airport. They came to pick me up at the hotel, took me around the magnificent scenery and large horse ranches near New Chitose Airport, interacted with small animals, introduced me to a curry restaurant that served plenty of vegetables from the farm, and finally took me back to the airport just in time. I'm really grateful that I was able to make good use of my free time, which was about 7 hours net. Apparently in Hokkaido, you can cycle in winter by changing your tires to snow tires. If I go there in winter next time, I'd like to try it again. (This review has been machine translated) -
It was so much fun (^^)
It was a 3 hour ride during our free time during a company trip, but the scenery was amazing, the ramen was delicious, and best of all, the guide was great. It was a short ride, but I enjoyed it very much! Next time, I'd like to experience it for a longer time (^^) (This review has been machine translated) -
The sense of accomplishment and the exhilaration of cycling are amazing.
I requested this on May 25th, alone as a woman. Total length about 20km. However, there was a strong wind. I often travel to Hokkaido, but I never thought of cycling around. But! It was so refreshing. You can't experience the feeling of being surrounded by nature by driving. It was also my first time riding a proper road bike. I was impressed with how light and fast the bike was. I learned not only about Hokkaido, but also about the fun of cycling. By the way, I'm a complete beginner, but the instructor taught me well and paced me well, so I was able to cycle around with peace of mind♪ I'll definitely request this again!

The sea, bread, hot springs, sweets!
We took the 80km one-day course. We thoroughly enjoyed the hills with ocean views, the delicious bread shops, the hot springs after the ride, and the soft-serve ice cream made with fresh tomatoes. During the tour, we had fun talking and were given lots of information about great shops and souvenirs in Sapporo. We were very satisfied. Thank you, Cycling Frontier Hokkaido!Compared to the Arakawa Cycling Road, the course has many good points, such as "no pedestrians," "good visibility," "good scenery, fun as the scenery changes along the way," "no obstacles such as car stops," and "fun slight hills," but there are generally no convenience stores etc. (This review has been machine translated) -
Great fun!!
I participated alone at the end of August. By chance, there were no other participants, so it was a luxurious time with a one-on-one guide. That's Hokkaido!! The guide took us on a single road across the vast plains, took photos at beautiful spots, and told us all kinds of stories unique to Hokkaido, so it was a lot of fun. The scenery was even more Hokkaido-like than I had imagined. I usually only ride my bike occasionally to get around, but the guide matched my pace and I could leave it to him safely, and before I knew it, the 20 kilometers went by in a flash while I was enjoying nature!! If I go to Hokkaido again, I'll definitely ask for his help again. I recommend it!! (This review has been machine translated) -
I experienced Hokkaido!
At the end of June, I signed up with some coworkers for the 80km course. The course was just as I had imagined, with horizon views, moderate (and fun) uphill sections, and unexpectedly stunning coastal scenery, making it feel like we were enjoying Hokkaido to the fullest♪ We also enjoyed the Genghis Khan and hot springs that were arranged for us at the finish line, and had a really fun day. Thank you, Cycling Frontier Hokkaido! (This review has been machine translated) -
If you want to ride a bicycle, Hokkaido
I was taken care of by the 100km plan on May 27th. It was 100km from Lake Shikotsu, and I thought it might be a bit difficult for me since I had just started cycling, but I started at the roadside station in Eniwa, and once I got going, I was drawn into the magic of Hokkaido's nature. Hokkaido's mountains, rivers, waterfalls, lakes, straight roads, vast fields, and strong headwinds are all things that can only be experienced on a bicycle. By the time I finished, I felt like I wanted to ride a bit more. I'd like to thank Ueda-san for being my guide. Thank you very much. Next year, I'll improve my level a bit, so I look forward to seeing you again. (This review has been machine translated) -
Hokkaido is huge!
My request for this tour was to see the spectacular ocean and horizon! I was surprised by the blue waters of Ishikari Bay, the beautiful coastline, and the straight road that stretched for 5 kilometers, a scenery that was different from the mountainous Shinshu. The road bike I rented was a Cannondale and worked well, and I was thrilled to be able to ride with a professional racer. I saw a red fox on the way and enjoyed the scenery, and before I knew it, the 80 kilometers had flown by. It's a tour that you can enjoy in earnest, with only road shoes and clothing. I hope everyone will try it out. (This review has been machine translated) -
Enjoy Hokkaido
I participated in the 80km course on September 27th. The conditions on that day couldn't have been better! It was sunny all day, the temperature was neither cold nor hot, and the wind was pleasant, so the mood and the scenery were great. After the first 20km, I was asked "Do you want to take a break?" and I answered "I'm fine for a little longer" because I had been running comfortably on the flat course until then and had some energy left, but I later regretted it a little lol. However, after climbing the first hill until I was exhausted, I went down and forgot about my fatigue when I saw the view of Ishikari Bay that spread out before me. Thank you for the wonderful experience of feeling the smell of the Hokkaido earth and the wind on my body. A little advice for those who are considering this program. Sneakers with soft soles and thin soles are a bit hard to tackle the hills. My soles started to go numb. I also recommend wearing eyewear (sunglasses). It's probably unique to this time of year, but dragonflies sometimes collide with you, so prepare them for safety. (This review has been machine translated) -
Hokkaido is the best
We are the fire brigade team that helped us with the 80km course on September 9th. We had unfortunate weather on the day, but thank you for choosing a course that was typical of Hokkaido. Gunma has no sea, so I was really impressed when I could see Ishikari Bay. However, if it had been sunny, I might have been even more impressed (lol). Everyone finished the course safely, so happy ending. I would like to go again if I have the opportunity. (This review had been machine translated) -
I had fun.
Although it was a half-day course, I was able to fully enjoy the nature and size of Hokkaido. Mr. Ishizuka's talk was also fun, and the time flew by. Next time, I would definitely like to participate in the full-day course. Thank you very much. (This review has been machine translated) -
Feeling refreshed!
We participated in a half-day tour starting in the morning. We were beginners when it came to road biking, but we got to cycle through the rough roads on authentic bikes, and the scenery and sense of speed were both amazing! It felt so refreshing. We ate a little too much on our trip to Hokkaido, but both our minds and bodies are refreshed (^-^)v Above all, the guide was so kind, and we got to hear some local stories, so it was a really good tour.

I'm full!
We did a half-day course on September 8th. We were able to fully enjoy the spectacular scenery that we would never have been able to see by car. Our guide, Ishizuka-san, was a great person, and we ended up staying with him for a long time. The delicious oyakodon lunch was also the best. Thank you very much. There's absolutely nothing to be worried about if you've never ridden a road bike before. Highly recommended! (This review has been machine translated) -
Thank you for arranging the course!
Since this was a cycling trip in Hokkaido, I decided to participate on a recumbent bike, which is something you don't often get a chance to ride in Tokyo. When I told them that, they arranged the course for a recumbent bike and were considerate enough to avoid hills as much as possible. As it turned out, since my girlfriend and I were together, the course was just right and I'm very happy with it. We also had a flat tire along the way, but they dealt with it quickly. As you'd expect from a professional racer! I heard that they do things other than cycling tours, so I may need their help in the winter as well. I look forward to your help in that case!

Hokkaido is the best!!
I ride a road bike in my daily life, and I have always wanted to ride the beautiful and vast land of Hokkaido! I wanted to make it happen someday. However, it was difficult to transport the bike and adjust the schedule, so I was half-giving up, but I searched and found this tour while thinking, "It's too good to be true to offer a tour where you can rent a road bike and be guided..." ^^ I've been to Sapporo a few times, but it was a real eye-opener to find a place where you can enjoy the scenery and ride while enjoying the spectacular views of the sea and mountains just by going a little outside the city! The road bike was well-maintained and the size was perfect for my body! I was able to shift gears comfortably, and I was even grateful that they provided SPD pedals for me! I learned a lot from talking about road bikes, and they also guided me around the unfamiliar area, so I would definitely recommend this tour to both experienced road bikers and beginners who are trying to ride a road bike for the first time. Next time I would definitely like to take part in a snow cycling tour, which can only be experienced in Hokkaido. (This review has been machine translated) -
Thank you for all the excitement!!
Last week, I participated in the "Sapporo Suburban Road Bike Cycling Half Day" tour! ① Mr. Ishizuka from Cycling Frontier Hokkaido kindly contacted me many times in advance, and wiped away my anxiety about whether I would be able to ride a road bike, which was enough to make me feel at ease♪. He was very considerate about everything, and I was impressed with his personality and his attitude towards his work. ② He used his extensive experience as a professional athlete to adapt to the customer so that anyone could ride a road bike, so I was able to ride it without any problems. I thought this was the best thing about a cycling tour guide. Of course, he was also very considerate about safety when cars passed by. ③ There was the great nature of Hokkaido near Sapporo♪... Just being able to stand in such a landscape was an amazing experience. Whether you love Hokkaido or bicycles, this tour is the best. And if you love both, I think you will be so moved that you will collapse. Furthermore, if you get to know the personality of the representative, Mr. Ishizuka, I'm sure you will think, "This is the perfect tour!!" Thank you so much for all your help. I will definitely participate again. Thank you so much. (This review has been machine translated)
