Packing for a cycling holiday in Japan is refreshingly straightforward thanks to the country's excellent infrastructure and reliable weather during the cycling season.
Cyclists should bring their usual riding kit, including bib shorts, cycling jerseys, helmet, gloves, sunglasses and cycling shoes. Lightweight layers, arm warmers and a windproof jacket are recommended for cooler mornings or higher mountain elevations.
Off the bike, comfortable casual clothing is all that's required. Many restaurants, cafés and accommodation venues have a relaxed atmosphere, making formal attire unnecessary.
A small daypack, sunscreen, reusable water bottles, personal medications and travel insurance are also essential.
Guests hiring one of our premium rental bikes simply need to bring their own pedals, saddle (if preferred) and helmet to ensure maximum comfort throughout the tour.
