This sixth edition of the Japanese Odyssey started from Kagoshima City on October 24th, 2023, with dozens of participants taking on the challenge. The 2,700-kilometer route led riders all the way through the interior of Japan on a succession of climbs and mountains as they made their way across the length of the country from south to north, finishing in Hachinohe (Aomori Prefecture). The theme of this year’s event was “The narrow road to the deep North,” and once again, photographer Eigo Shimojo was there to capture all the riders. Eigo sent us the gallery of images, and you can find bike portraits from 45 riders below…
