Most who have never cycled in Japan know just one mountain, Mount Fuji. And though Fuji is the tallest mountain in Japan at 3,776m high, it is far from the best cycling climb in Japan. Japan is actually home to hundreds of high mountains and passes all over the country. And while you can cycle to the 5th station on Mt Fuji (2,200m high), many roads in Japan have larger gains, higher summits, and far less traffic. In fact Mt Norikura, the highest road in Japan, summits some 500m higher at over 2,700m!
