Miura Anjin, the first European to become a samurai. At the turning point of the Tokugawa era, a man from across the sea genuinely stood there. His footprints now remain as land you can tour by motorcycle. Looking back at history, a road is the accumulation of human activity. A rally that touches the past while riding is a rare experience where you savor mechanical speed and the depth of time simultaneously.

I remember seeing the name Miura Anjin in a textbook, but who exactly was he again?

If there's an entry fee or prizes involved, I'd want that info spelled out too.

Even if it's close to the city center, weekend traffic jams still seem hard to avoid.

Would like the details on exactly what rules a 'rally format' event runs by.

Touring sites connected to Anjin is a unique and fun theme for an event.

The Miura Peninsula is so close to the city, yet you can still do this kind of historical touring — feels like a real bargain.

There are probably a lot of historical spots nearby that most people don't know about, so I'm curious about the route.
