Distance and timing basis
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

2. Tateyama
Tateyama faces west across the mouth of Tokyo Bay, and its bay is so calm that it has long been called Kagami-ga-ura, the mirror bay. On a still evening, Mount Fuji, across the water, is reflected in the sea, and the sunset turns the whole bay gold. Hōjō beach, in front of the town, is one of the best swimming beaches on the Boso peninsula, with calm water, fine sand and lifeguards in summer.

3. Food stop near Fujiyoshida
Fujiyoshida sits on the northern foot of Mount Fuji, and the mountain fills the sky above the town so completely that it can feel almost unreal. For centuries, this was the starting point for pilgrims climbing Fuji, and the great shrine of Kitaguchi Hongū Fuji Sengen Jinja, set in a forest of ancient cedars, marks the traditional beginning of the Yoshida trail. Walking through its huge wooden torii into the dark, quiet forest is a moving experience.
