Sean here - Having lived in Northern California for a good portion of my life, the home to mountain biking. (If you ride or have ridden a Gary Fisher, Google him as he is one of the grand dads of mountain biking or Klunkerz, an interesting doc about the beginning of mountain biking).
Mountain biking is so popular in Northern California, that high schools have mountain bike teams. What a way to get kids interested in protecting our environment.
I consider myself a cyclist overall, however a mountain biker at heart.
Kumamoto has some of the most amazing road cycling in the world. However. it falls short in mountain biking. That is too bad.
The abundance of potential trails is unlimited, yet untapped. What Kumamoto has and Tokyo does not is the abundance of outdoor space / green space. And yet so little is done to promote it. This is criminal.
Well, this cool little place in Yoshimuta is offering opportunities to change that paradigm. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves, For parents, get your kids out on mountain bikes and they’ll be hooked for life.
Sorry about the low-quality pictures, but I hope there is enough information that you could just Google it and get the information that you need.
