急に500km走りたくなったら、伊豆・富士山・奥多摩を巡る日帰りツーリングコース。[Kawasaki W800 Street]

Yamate-dori, Nishi-Shinjuku Gas Station. Over the weekend, I suddenly felt the urge to ride a long distance. First, I took the expressway to Odawara. Then made a loop around the Izu Peninsula. Passing the western side of Mt. Fuji, I rode through Okutama. It’s a route that offers an easy 500km long-distance ride. Shuto Expressway, Hatsudai-Minami Interchange. To ride 500km in a day, an early start is essential. I leave the city before the traffic gets bad. Tomei Expressway, near Ebina Service Area. From spring to autumn, traffic jams start after 7 AM. Traffic congestion usually continues until around Ebina SA. Odawara-Atsugi Road, Atsugi Interchange. Once on the Odawara-Atsugi Road, the traffic clears up. The key is to reach Atsugi IC as early as possible. Odawara-Atsugi Road, Odawara-Higashi Interchange. It took about an hour from central Tokyo to reach Odawara. Here, I exit to the local road and head toward southern Izu. First, I take the Turnpike toward Hakone. The Turnpike entrance is about 500 meters from the IC. The distinctive dried fish shop on the left is a good landmark. Hakone Turnpike Toll Gate. There’s a toll gate at the entrance of the Turnpike. The toll gate supports ETCX. If your ETC device is registered, you can pass through smoothly. The Turnpike is a 15km mountain road. It climbs rapidly from an elevation of 30m to 1,000m. As the elevation rises, the greenery hasn’t yet emerged. Cherry blossoms were still in bloom and looked beautiful. It’s a road where you can enjoy the change of seasons through altitude. The Turnpike sees very little traffic. When riding 500km in a day, choosing the right roads is important. Roads where I can maintain my own pace help reduce fatigue. This is a road I definitely want to take advantage of. Hakone Turnpike Daikanzan Observatory. I’ve reached the summit of Hakone’s mountains. Without stopping at the Daikanzan rest house, I continue on toward the Izu Skyline. Turnpike Hakone-Izu Connector. I’ve entered the connector road operated by the Turnpike. This is also a toll road. Though only 1.7km long, it offers beautiful scenery. Some people avoid it due to the hassle of payment, but now that it supports ETCX, it’s a smooth ride. Pulling out a wallet while riding a motorcycle is quite a hassle. ETCX frees me from that inconvenience. I stop briefly at the toll gate to confirm payment. It’s a very convenient service and I highly recommend using it. Shizuoka Prefectural Route 20, Kannami Town, Tagata District, Shizuoka Prefecture. From here, it’s about 7 kilometers of ridgeline riding to reach the Izu Skyline. Although there are few spots with panoramic views, the series of moderate curves makes for an enjoyable ride. Izu Skyline, Atami Pass Toll Gate. I’ve arrived at the entrance, it’s bustling with cars and motorcycles. Izu Skyline still only accepts cash at this point. I pay the toll to the final destination at Amagi-Kogen. There are plans to support ETCX in the future. Izu Skyline, near Genbaku Observatory. Izu Skyline is a 40-kilometer scenic driving road. Traffic is light in the morning, so I can ride the entire 40km in comfort. It’s moments like this that make waking up early worth it. The Izu Skyline is a practical road as well. With no traffic signals, I can ride without stopping. It serves as a fun bypass route for riders. The coastal roads around Atami and Ito are often congested, so it’s much more comfortable to take the mountain route, even if it’s longer. As I near the end, the elevation gradually drops, and I start seeing tranquil rural landscapes. It’s a road full of variety and interest. Izu Skyline, Amagi-Kogen Toll Gate. At the end, I hand over the ticket at the toll gate to finish the ride. National Route 135, Yahata-no, Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture. After the Izu Skyline, I continue down to the coastline, and head south on National Route 135. National Route 135, Akazawa, Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Traffic is heavy along the coast, but it’s not congested to the point of causing jams. National Route 135, Kakizaki, Shimoda City, Shizuoka Prefecture. I’ve made it all the way to Shimoda in southern Izu. Palm trees give the area a resort-like atmosphere. Shizuoka Prefectural Route 16, Minato, Minami-Izu Town, Kamo District, Shizuoka Prefecture. In southern Izu, Prefectural Route 16 is highly recommended. It’s a road with extremely low traffic. The road traces the coastline closely. This is one of the must-ride roads in the Izu area. The continuous curves create a pleasant rhythm. The ups and downs are just right, making it fun to ride. I take my time and ride in harmony with the bike. After riding non-stop up to this point, I started to feel a bit tired. I take a break at a scenic spot. Yuusuge Park. I climb the stairs to rest at the observation deck. Today, there was a lot of moisture in the air, creating a hazy view. Still, I could gaze out at the dynamic seascape of southern Izu. The observation deck offers an unobstructed panoramic view. After taking a break, it was already around 11:00 a.m. I resume riding while looking for a place to have lunch. National Route 136, Iruma, Minami-Izu Town, Kamo District, Shizuoka Prefecture. Izu is a tourist area, so restaurants tend to get crowded. I try to get to a restaurant before noon when possible. National Route 136, Matsuzaki Town, Kamo District, Shizuoka Prefecture. Due to the terrain, the northern areas of Izu attract more tourists. As I head north, restaurants tend to be more crowded. If you’re after seafood, staying closer to southern Izu is more relaxing. This time, I decided to stop by Matsuzaki Town. Matsuzaki lies next to Minami-Izu City. I ride into town along the seaside national road. Matsuzaki Town, Kamo District, Shizuoka Prefecture. It took about 30 minutes from Yuusuge Park to reach town. I leave the main road and enter a narrow alley. Matsuzaki is known for its historical townscape, and there are many examples of “Namako-kabe” plaster walls on the left. The contrast of black tiles and white plaster creates a beautiful pattern. I enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere as I ride through the area. For lunch, I chose a restaurant near Matsuzaki Port. There weren’t many cars, so it didn’t seem crowded yet. Folk Art Teahouse. After riding non-stop since morning, I was quite hungry. The sashimi set lunch (1,980) came with dried fish what a treat. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was calm and pleasant. The sashimi was delicious. I’m glad I made the trip to Izu. I was able to enjoy a very satisfying lunch. Now, I set off toward the next destination. National Route 136, Nishina, Nishi-Izu Town, Kamo District, Shizuoka Prefecture. I’ve left Matsuzaki and entered Nishi-Izu Town. From here, I leave the coastline once again and head into the mountains. Shizuoka Prefectural Route 59, Nishina, Nishi-Izu Town, Kamo District, Shizuoka Prefecture. I take a prefectural road leading from Nishi-Izu into the mountains. At first, it’s a wide two-lane road with good visibility. But after riding for a while, the two-lane section ends. The road narrows significantly, making passing difficult. I proceed carefully, watching for oncoming vehicles. I pass through a few small settlements as I climb into the mountains. Although narrow, it’s a residential road, so there is traffic. Occasionally, a local bus comes through, so I ride with caution. As the elevation increases, the road starts to feel more like a forest path. This is the most challenging section of today’s course. Although steep, it doesn’t feel oppressively dense. With sunlight filtering through the trees and the blue sky above, it’s a pleasant ride. After riding for a while, the view suddenly opens up. When the pasture comes into sight, the forest road section ends. From here, the road becomes a smooth and enjoyable route. Shizuoka Prefectural Route 59, Nishi-Izu Town, Kamo District, Shizuoka Prefecture. Nishina Pass. This is another road in Izu that’s definitely worth riding. I ride through the mountains without a single traffic light, all the way toward Numazu. To ride comfortably through Izu, this road is essential. Nishi-Izu is a well-known tourist area, and the coastline is often congested. A road with low traffic and no signals is perfect for travel. This is a route I actively choose whenever possible. The appeal of this road isn’t just how empty it is. What matters is that it’s simply fun to ride. The winding road surrounded by nature is exhilarating. Nishi-Izu Skyline. The highlight here is undoubtedly the “Nishi-Izu Skyline.” As the name suggests, it’s a spectacular road that follows the ridgeline. People who love cars and bikes naturally gather here. With its comfort and views, there’s no reason not to ride it. Heda Pass. After riding along the ridge for a while, I reach Heda Pass. I descend slightly and take the road toward the Numazu area. Shizuoka Prefectural Route 18, Heda, Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. From around here, traffic volume starts to increase. Shizuoka Prefectural Route 17, Nishura-Kou, Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. I’ve descended from the mountains and arrived at the coast. This area marks the base of the Izu Peninsula. This is the last spot on today’s route with a view of the sea. I ride along, enjoying the scent of the ocean. National Route 414, Kano River Floodway, Kuchino, Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. From here, I pass through Numazu and head toward Mt. Fuji. National Route 414, Miyuki-cho, Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. I ride through a busy urban area. This is one place where traffic congestion is unavoidable. Shizuoka Prefectural Route 380, Sannomaibashi-cho, Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. I’ve entered the center of Numazu City. From Numazu, I head west toward Fuji City. At this point, I’ve covered 330 kilometers. The fuel warning light has turned on, so I stop to refuel. I refuel with 12.8 liters. Motorcycles are so fuel-efficient, it really helps. With a full tank, I resume riding again. Shizuoka Prefectural Route 353, Hinode-cho, Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture. As I enter Fuji City, Mt. Fuji gradually comes into view. I ride along the base of Mt. Fuji, heading toward Yamanashi. National Route 139, Fuji Interchange. From here, I leave the urban area and traffic decreases. I ride onward, aiming for Mt. Fuji. National Route 139, Kamiide, Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture. After about 20 minutes of riding from the city, I enter the base road. Vegetation increases, and the temperature begins to drop slightly. There are many scenic photo spots along Route 139 with Mt. Fuji in the background. This time, I stopped by Asagiri Plateau. Asagiri Refreshing Parking Area. Beyond the pastures, Mt. Fuji comes into view. This is a place where I can photograph both my motorcycle and Mt. Fuji. In the afternoon, the lighting is ideal for taking photos here. Near the “Asagiri Refreshing Parking Area” is a farmland. Cows are occasionally seen grazing here. With Mt. Fuji in the background, I can photograph cows peacefully grazing. This is another well-known photo spot. National Route 139, Nehara, Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Asagiri Plateau is a tourist area, so traffic is relatively heavy. I ride carefully until I pass the Fuji Five Lakes area. National Route 358, Fujikawaguchiko Town, Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi Prefecture. After passing through Asagiri Plateau, I enter Yamanashi Prefecture. I cross the mountains and head toward the Kofu Basin. Yamanashi Prefectural Route 36, Yatsushiro Town, Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture. Taking Prefectural Route 36, I enter the Kofu Basin. The temperature rises in the basin, and I feel the warmth. After riding from Shizuoka, I take a break as I’m getting tired. There is an observation point along Route 36 with a great view. I ride through peach orchards toward the observatory. The park is built above the Maglev test track. I can see the entire Kofu Basin from here. Kachozan Observatory. There’s a gazebo at the observatory where I can sit and rest. The peach blossoms were in full bloom, it felt like a paradise. Right in front of me is the Maglev test line. Just then, the Maglev was performing a test run turnaround. Its position can be tracked in real-time on a monitor. It was running about 15 kilometers away after the turnaround. At 500 km/h, it would arrive in about 110 seconds. I really look forward to the day this train is completed. Time passed quickly while I was watching the Maglev. I’ve ridden enough today, so I begin heading home. From the Kofu Basin, I cross the mountains back to Tokyo. Fruits Line, Enzan, Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture. There are two routes from the Kofu Basin to Tokyo: National Route 20 and National Route 411. This time, I took Route 411 over Okutama. National Route 411, Kamiodawara, Enzan, Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture. Route 411 is a mountain road that leads through Okutama. For the next 50km or so, there won’t be any convenience stores. Evening rides on Route 411 require a bit of caution. Deer often appear in Okutama during the evening hours. There are also many sharp curves, making night riding challenging. There are spots with no mobile signal, so I ride carefully. National Route 411, Yanagisawa Pass. After crossing the pass, it’s a continuous downhill ride. Gradually, the sun begins to set. It’s been about 12 hours since I started riding, and I can feel the fatigue from the long-distance ride. I descend the mountain while staying focused. National Route 139, Fukayama Bridge. I’ve descended all the way to Lake Okutama. From here, I head down toward Itsukaichi. Okutama Loop Road. I ride the Okutama Loop Road toward Itsukaichi. Tokyo Route 7, in front of Musashi-Itsukaichi Station. It was 7:30 p.m. by the time I got down from the mountains. Before heading home, I look for a place to eat dinner. For dinner, I chose Nankintei (Tokyo-tei). It’s a Chinese restaurant chain located in western Tokyo and Saitama. Whenever I return to the city from the mountains, I always find one nearby. Tokyo-tei, Akiruno Branch. Open 24 hours, it’s a lifesaver after a late ride. I’ve been eating their stir-fried meat and vegetables set meal for about 20 years. Their dumplings are large and satisfying, I always order them. After dinner, with traffic easing, I make my way home. Tokyo Route 29, Kumagawa, Fussa City, Tokyo. Tokyo Route 14, Nozaki, Mitaka City, Tokyo. Yamate-dori, Nishi-Shinjuku, Tokyo. I made it back to Nishi-Shinjuku just past 9 p.m. In the end, I covered a total of 561 kilometers. I fill up the gas tank one last time before heading home. Yamate-dori, Nishi-Shinjuku Gas Station. This was a great long-distance route accessible from the Kanto region. I recommend it for when you want to enjoy a long ride with ease. I hope this was helpful. thank you for watching.
