Today we\u2019re heading out on the third and fourth stages of our north-to-south ride down Kyushu. The first route takes us from our hotel in Nobeoka, down the eastern coast to the beautiful mountain town of Aya. Day four sees us cutting further down the peninsula to the surfing town of Odotsu just south of Nichinan.<\/p>\n

\"Cycling<\/p>\n

Route options are limited when heading south between Nobeoka and Miyazaki so we will take a look at some creative route planning to make the day enjoyable. The ride to Aya and further down south to Nichinan has some great climbs, peaceful roads, and well stocked roadside stations.<\/p>\n

Along with the written report and GPX files below, check out the accompanying video that captures our full journey down what is, in our opinion, the best part of Japan.<\/p>\n
