PR Blossom out yourself in the tropical island as free as the wind!
YANBARU is the ONE!
What kind of place is "Yanbaru" where the tournament is held?
Yanbaru is the name given to the forested northern part of Okinawa Island in Japan.
Yanbaru contains some of the last large surviving tracts of subtropical rainforest in Asia, with many endemic species of flora and fauna. In 2016, Yanbaru National Park was established and the area was included in a submission for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In addition to the nature, communities residing on Yanbaru have created commercial entities referred to as a “Kyodo-baiten”. It is a community cooperative of grocery stores that are operated by the local community.
About raising the participation fee It is due to further strengthening of the rescue system, the response to rising costs of personnel expenses, transportation costs, and articles required for the tournament management and safety measures. We will place a burden on the participants, but we will continue our efforts to maintain safety and security and strive to improve the attractiveness of Tour de Okinawa and the services of the convention.
Awards Stipulation +All finishers of each cycling course (non-competitive) will receive a certificate of completion.
