Tochigi Prefecture is directly north of Tokyo. Only 50km from central Tokyo, Tochigi is home to not only a large amount of the Tokyo Metro Area, but also the famous Nikko National Park and ancient burial grounds of the most famous Shogun Daimyo Ieyasu Tokugawa at the Toshogu Shrine. Beyond all of this, Tochigi is also blessed with some amazing places and weather for cycling, a hidden gem in Japan practically made for cyclists!
