Hey friends,

As part of my prep for Haute Route prep I am planning on using the long weekend in mid-July for a 3 day trip into the Japanese Alps. More specifically I am planning on riding from Gifu to Oume (just not the direct way). It will be epic from a riding, climbing and sightseeing PoV.

Day 1: Gifu to Takayama
Day 2: Takayama to Suwa-Ko
Day 3: Suwa-Ko to Oume

Would be great if some of you are interested in joining, or can share some knowledge about the route I have in mind.

Best,
Norman
 
Regarding your Day2, I know the area well and cycle there frequently. I'd recommend a couple of small changes to your route. After Norikura you definitely want to take the super rindo. It's much nicer!! Additionally, instead of doing Route #254 on your climb, I'd highly recommend the much quieter and more peaceful climb that I plotted. See here:
