Join us for an unforgettable outdoor journey bringing together alumni and friends from Berkeley, Columbia, and USC. This five-day program (July 29-Aug 2) combines cycling with opportunities to experience cultural local traditions in the heart of Northern Japan. Cycle through Hokkaido’s iconic rolling flower fields and serene landscapes. Experience the Asahikawa Summer Festival, one of Northern Hokkaido’s most vibrant traditions, where you will enjoy reserved viewing for the spectacular Ishikari River fireworks and the rare opportunity to help carry a traditional shrine through the streets alongside local residents.
During the festival, the entire city of Asahikawa transforms into an energetic stage of music, movement, and community spirit. Whether you’re looking for a physical challenge or a cultural connection, we invite you to join us on the road.
