from Fukuoka
to Beppu
E-Bike: 6h 17 / day
Bike: 8h 26 / day
From the urban pulse of Fukuoka to the steaming geothermal ridges of Beppu, this 655km cycling loop reveals the raw, unfiltered heart of Kyushu. The route masterfully transitions from flat coastal plains and historic trade ports to the testing ascents of the Aso Caldera and the ancient basalt pillars of Takachiho Gorge. It is a journey of sharp contrasts: quiet island crossings over the Amakusa Five Bridges, hidden fishing hamlets, and solitary miles through dense mountain cedar forests. Planning a legendary bikepacking adventure in Japan shouldn't mean drowning in logistics, booking ferries, or translating train schedules. Rogonneur removes all the friction.
