A brand-new aid station will be set up along the 110 km course, located about 46 km from the start at Makinobaru Campground.
On the same day, the local event “Momiji Festival with Oyama de Market” will be taking place there, filling the area with the cheerful energy of local people and the pleasant scents of autumn.
Organized by the Sawada Community Association of Chikujō Town, this lively festival features traditional fair booths and a performance of Sawada Kagura, a ritual dance designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan.
It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience the local culture and warm hospitality of the community.
Participants of the 110 km course can choose one specialty dish from the various food stalls at the venue.
Take a relaxing break, enjoy the local flavors, and recharge your energy before taking on the toughest climb of the route—the Hokotate Pass!
