EROICA JAPAN – FUJI 80 ROUTE
FUJI 80 is one of the most beautiful routes of Eroica Japan, the cycling event for classic bicycles born in Italy, in Tuscany, in 1997.
Eroica Japan chose the Izu Peninsula not only for the beauty of the landscape, but also because the route with its climbs and descents allows one to rediscover the soul of cycling.
The theme of this 80km route is Mount Fuji. It runs along the majestic West-Izu Skyline from where one can admire the beauty of the Gulf of Suruga and the imposing figure of Mount Fuji, and then heads towards Mitohama Bay.
This route is suitable for experienced cyclists, but with an eBike, even those with little cycling experience can manage it.
Remember to always carry a 1000ml water bottle and a small supply of food.
