Mark your calendar, Sunday, June 9th is the 11th annual "Le Tour de Zushi" (←Japanese only) in Kanagawa prefecture.
This fun-filled event is a "stamp rally" whereby participants receive a stamp card upon paying a nominal 200 yen registration fee on the day of the rally and make their rounds receiving stamps for each checkpoint visited. After participating in a brief safety class (Japanese language only) participants select a course; short courses with nearby checkpoints for the kids (must be accompanied by an adult) & beginners, and, for the more experienced cyclist, long courses with checkpoints around the Miura Peninsula.
Date: Sunday, June 9th
(Will be cancelled in the event of stormy weather.)
Time: 9:00 - 17:00
(Start anytime between 9:00 - 16:00
and finish anytime before 17:00)
Place: Start & finish at Kamegaoka Hachimangu (亀岡八幡)
(About a 3 minute walk from Zushi Train/Bus Station,
next to Zushi City Hall)
Registration Fee: 200 yen, sameday registration at the event
Last year I had the pleasure of participating on my vintage bicycle (photo below) and it proved to be a great time to get out and discover hidden treasures in the local area around the Miura Peninsula (Kamakura, Zushi, Hayama, Yokosuka, Miura).
