Muroran Cycling Tour

Tour Overview

Cycle Muroran’s Spectacular Coastline!

Explore the dramatic coastline of Muroran on this guided cycling tour with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. Starting near Itanki Beach, we’ll ride along quiet coastal roads that weave between rugged cliffs, forest sections and scenic viewpoints overlooking the sea.

Along the way, you’ll pass Muroran’s iconic Nippon Steel works and enjoy panoramic ocean scenery that makes this route one of the most memorable rides in southern Hokkaido. Midway through the tour, we’ll stop at a scenic location to relax and enjoy lunch with coastal views.

The final stretch follows Muroran’s harbour area, where you can see fishing boats, cargo ships, and the impressive Hakucho Bridge before returning to the starting point.
