Tokyo 2020 Olympic Cycling Road Race Course

This course is intended for advanced cyclists. Selected as the (men's) course for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Cycling Road Race, it crosses Tokyo, Kanagawa, Yamanashi and Shizuoka Prefectures. Here, we will introduce the details of the section of the course located in Yamanashi Prefecture.
51 km from the start* of the course in Musashinomori Park, it moves onto Doshi Road, and from there runs approximately 40 km, mainly in an upward climb, to Yamabushi Tunnel. As you go through Yamabushi Tunnel and come to Lake Yamanakako, the majestic Mt. Fuji is right before your eyes!
From urban areas to mountain village scenery and the spectacular views at the north foot of Mt. Fuji, you can enjoy the changes in the magnificent landscape.
*The first 10 km of the course from Musashinomori Park is part of the ceremonial parade route, so the actual starting point of the race will be Koremasa Bridge.
※Due to ongoing disaster recovery efforts, the section of the course from the Aoyama intersection in Sagamihara City's Midori Ward to the Yamanashi Prefectural border is not available for use at this time.

The course brings cyclists to Lake Yamanakako at the end of Yamabushi Pass, the most difficult point of Doshi Road with its lengthy, continuous ascent. The spectacular Mt. Fuji is visible from the northern side of the lake. There are even hot spring facilities along Doshi Road, so you can refresh your body and mind! You can take in the view of Mt. Fuji and Lake Yamanakako on the steep descent exceeding 20% from Mikuni Pass.

Doshi Road
The incline increases sharply as you approach Yamabushi Pass. Make sure not to run out of energy
on the first half of Doshi Road!
Kagosaka Pass
The course includes two laps through Kagosaka Pass. Since you will pass through during the last 20km of the second lap, check the course as you are going uphill and please watch your speed on the long descent down the hill.
Mikuni Pass
This 6.7 km section is not so long, but the average incline of 11.1% is extremely tough. There are even places in the ""doughnut section""(a section where the road surface is shaped like a doughnut) where it exceeds 20%. This is unquestionably a point that will determine which athletes win or lose during the actual race. When you arrive at the summit of Mikuni Pass, there will be extraordinary scenic spots featuring Mt. Fuji and lake views. Think of reaching these as you continue your upward climb.
