SUMMARY- COURSE OVERVIEW -
Encounter with a steep screech and the scenery that is typical to Otari village
SEASON : end of April to October
A winding road that continues from right after the start line breaks the cyclist’s heart. While fighting with the heart that is likely to surrender, continue climbing the hill through rustic houses and the terraced paddy . The finish point is a huge hotel with unexpectedly western appearance. Daibetto area, off the course a bit, is a recommended view spot on the way back.

Daibetto, off the course, seems like scenery from an old folk story. If you have time to spare, worth passing by.
