"Tour de Kitahiro", a cycling tour of the city that is full of exhilaration and a sense of accomplishment, will be held again this year. The first theme of this year is "Kitahiro Gravel". Continuing from last year, the tour will include gravel roads, which are unpaved gravel roads and forest roads, allowing you to experience the nature of Kitahiroshima.
