Cape Hedo

Located at the northernmost point of Okinawa's main island, this is a scenic spot of overwhelming scale. Sheer cliffs, crashing waves, and an endless horizon combine to create a truly powerful view. Reaching it after riding all this way makes the moment even more special — a major highlight of the course. Standing there with the wind in your face is an unforgettable experience.

Shioya Bay

A calm bay surrounded by mountains, where you can feel the quiet beauty unique to Yanbaru. In contrast to the dynamic open sea, the waves here are gentle and the atmosphere is calm and settled. The unique scenery, where sea and mountains feel close together, makes this a soothing stretch best enjoyed at a leisurely pace.

Riding through tree-lined roads here feels like becoming part of the natural world itself, offering a special cycling experience you simply can't have in the city.
