Day 2
Matsunoyama to Yunohama
Todays ride has a nice mix of mountain riding as you leave your hotel in the mountains before hoping onto the Expressway to by pass the City of Niigata. Exiting the Expressway Todays “Intense option” which diverts off into mountains here along Asahi Super Line can be a very challenging ride for the very energetic, or continue on to one of my favorite seaside rides along the Sea of Japan.

Nothing tricky or technical involved this is just a very nice cruisey road along the sea side. Nice restaurants and coffee shops photo spots etc along the way to your Seaside hotel at Yunohama Onsen. Enjoy a wander along the beach and catch the sunset.

Yunohama to Naruko Onsen
Day 3
Japan motorcycle tour ninjatours yunohama naruko onsen grassy plains
Back on the road today you briefly follow the coastline before turning inland to Mt Choukai. The road winds through lush green forest and on up the slopes of Mt Choukai. Its a spectacular way to start your day and the view is equal wonderful. Stop at the top, grab a quick coffee and proceed down the other side of the mountain. The scenery briefly changes to Rice fields before the lush forest and twisting roads begin as you continue along the Chokai Blue line.

The atmosphere and the views are great as are the roads. As you move back lower altitudes the roads flatten out to easy cruising again as your route continues following the Minase river for a period as it begins to climb higher, roads are winding but easy. My Favorite coffee shop will appear and its well worth a stop here. The road climbs and winds its way through Yunohama Pass, easy riding but its a cool road with some great views before arriving at Hanayama Lake.

Shortly after you will veer off toward Naruko Onsen and Ginzan Onsen both of which a lovely places to stay. Total Distance about 280km
