From Hachimantai to Sanriku Wangan Expressway by motorcycle

From Hachimantai Aspite Line to Jukai Line to Sanriku Bayside Road

As we are staff members at our directly managed stores, we have a busy period of business every year during Golden Week!

Before the big spring event (?), I went for a leisurely bike ride.

Head over to the Aspite Line, which has just opened over the winter.

This is the season when you can run through snowy corridors . There is a fair amount of snow along the way.

Along the way, you will also see a group of ruins called the Matsuo Mine Ruins .

Unfortunately, Dragon Eye wasn't open...it seems like there's still a long way to go.

After climbing the Aspite Line , descend on the Jukai Line and head towards the seaside.

Then, heading south from the Sanriku Expressway , which seems to have been fully opened in March,
I returned to Sendai while looking out at the sea.

Before I knew it, it had already been 10 years since the earthquake.

It was still cold in the mountains since it was before Golden Week, but
Is this period until before the rainy season the best biking season of the year?

The weather wasn't great in Tohoku this Golden Week, but
Please be careful not to miss this short and great touring opportunity!
