TRAIL CUTTER (3rd Area): Go Hard on Japan's Largest MTB Trail!
Private Guided Tour of the Southern Alps (limited to one group per day)
This trail, historically used by local residents to access the mountain, was repurposed by TRAIL CUTTER, a trail-building group that focuses on creating trails in a sustainable way with as little impact on nature as possible, to become their 3rd Area Course, and one of Japan’s best mountain bike trails. At just over 10 km in length, the first half is an up and down section with hills to climb from 30-100m. The second half is a first-class, downhill trail with a series of wild, natural berms created by nature over many years. This up and down course, surrounded by untamed beauty, is a unique and exhilarating experience.
HIGHLIGHTS
► The trail is limited to only one group per day, so it will be all yours to enjoy.

► The up and down first half is ideal for participants wanting to dive deeper into mountain nature.

► The second half is a first-class, downhill trail with a series of wild, natural berms created by nature over many years. Some mountain bikers come specifically for this top-class downhill section of the trail.
SKILL LEVEL ★★★★★
Please refrain from locking the brakes and skidding, as this will eat away at the trail. Be aware of how you are riding and try to leave as little impact on the trail as possible. By using mainly your front brake, you can control your speed without fully locking your wheels.
FITNESS LEVEL ★★★★★
The course is just over 10km in length, and the uphill first half requires climbs of 30m to 100m. This activity is challenging and requires high physical fitness.
