Kinugawa - echigoyuzawa

[paullb]

I am planning to ride on the October 16-17 weekend from Kingugawa Onsen -Echigo yuzawa. (I haven't decided on the exact start point as it would depend on where I spend the night). Total distance about 230km.

Route would be something like (all national roads) 121-352-291 [ http://local.google.co.jp/maps?f=d&....245088,139.136353&spn=0.431271,0.617294&z=11 ]

Would there be any interest here for such a ride?

I recommend a hostel in Nikko called Sumika. Young Japanese couple, really nice. Only 2500 for dorms. Let me keep my bike inside at night. It would add a little more distance but that part of the road is neither steep or slow.

Have fun, it's a great place to cycle.

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep that in mind if I want to stay in Nikko. I would be staying at least 130km from Nikko on this trip though. Probably Hinoemata Onsen (檜枝岐温泉)
